A review by kricketa
Bottomless Belly Button by Dash Shaw
3.0
i found this lengthy graphic novel very intriguing, but once i came to the end i felt like i had missed some important information while reading. i did read it over the span of several weeks, so i figured it was me and started over. got halfway through again and decided it wasn't me, it was dash shaw.
the style is interesting. shaw is clearly a talented artist, but all of his characters are really unpleasant to look at. there's lots of shots of them being sad in the shower. some of them constantly wear gloves. i'm sure this is symbolic of something but i cannot tell you what. i thought about delving into this but ultimately decided i didn't care.
"pretentious" is a word i might use for this book. but i still liked it, in a weird sort of way. i can't really explain it.
