 Rating: Hard PG-13. Strong language, violence and gore, adult themes. 
















































































































Author's Note for Gilda And Meek #31 "All Blood Things...: Step Five: The Sword Of Wisdom" (Un-Iverse #45) 

"Okay what the fuck was that?" 

The Un-Iverse, EARNING its first f-bomb like a pro. 

Watershed issue that is filled with almost nothing but pay-off. The most crowdpleasing issue in the entire franchise. It's a great ending to both The Mistress Augatha Arc and the saga of the Chosen Five. It doesn't quite redeem Augatha, but repentance is a pretty cool thing anyways. And the pay-off for Meek and Gabrielle was great. 

Lots of great callbacks. Santa! Infinitesimal Microbe! Robot Torks! It's pretty dark and gory at points, but I will argue it is still the most purely pleasurable issue so far. Outside of maybe Bradley and Powder's deaths, the twists and turns'll make you feel good. Which is one of my major story mandates. 

If I could do nothing but write scenes like Bernadette proving Santa is a fraud using math, I would. Sincerely love that kind of thing. 

I am very proud of this one.

Welcome To Gilda And Meek And The Un-Iverse!

Image
My name is Matt Zimmer and I have created a crudely drawn comic book (mostly in the pencil stage) and I have drawn over 50 issues at this point. I will be posting them all on this blog.  What is Gilda And Meek about?  It's about several things at once. It's a story of a Lucky Universe in a Multiverse teeming with Unlucky Ones and how our hero navigates that to her own advantage. It's a funny animal book that bit by bit reveals a huge fantasy and science fiction underpinning, much like Bone. It starts off as an erstwhile comedy until you realize it's actually been a drama the entire time. It's a story that after you read all 90 issues, you'll want to reread them again, as the best reading of The Un-Iverse isn't the first, it's the second. It's a bunch of random and seemingly unrelated characters and stories building and crossing over until they collide in an epic 19-part finale. It's about the antagonistic and loving relationship betwee...

1. Gilda And Meek "Groundwork" Special Edition (Un-Iverse #1)

Rating: PG-13 (Bloody Violence and Drug Use).  A Note About The Special Edition Of Gilda And Meek "Groundwork" The first version of Groundwork looked absolutely terrible. I had not drawn in over 15 years when I put it to paper in 2015 and my weak arm and lettering indecisions made the issue look incredibly unprofessional. Not my best foot forward for getting people into Gilda And Meek on this site.  So I've taken the occasion to entirely redo the artwork with some minor script revisions. It looks much closer to my current art style and yet I feel the rough spirit of the first version is still present. As the Groundwork for the canon, it was sort of designed to be the worst issue to start out with, and to be built upon and improved from there. I think it's probably still the worst issue (as designed) but I'm no longer ashamed of the artwork. We'll see if readers agree.  Author's Note for Gilda And Meek #1 "Groundwork" Special Edition (Un-Ivers...

2. Gilda And Meek "The Otterman Cometh" (Un-Iverse #2)

Rating: PG. Nothing too objectionable.   Author's Note for Gilda And Meek #2 "The Otterman Cometh" (Un-Iverse #2) Two apologies are due the reader. 1. Sorry for the sucky artwork. As the Special Edition of "Groundwork" proves, it DOES get better as it goes along. I hope you won't be TOO concerned about it. 2. I am VERY sorry for Donna Demented. Extremely. Worst character I have ever created and she deeply shames me. The worst part is her upcoming arc is absolutely crucial to the mythology of one of the characters, and I couldn't excise her even if I wanted to. The bad Serial Mom rip-off almost seems to exist to make feminists the butt of some unfunny joke. I swear that isn't really her intention, but she can certainly be read that way. An online friend of mine told me not to feel TOO b...
