A review by mazloum
Bottomless Belly Button by Dash Shaw

5.0

A heartfelt examination of the lives of the Loony family, which really excels at painting each character as their very own unique person, in the very mundane way people tend to be. There's something very genuine and believable about the ways Shaw's characters act in light of the decision their parents make, how one of the sons slowly falls apart, how his daughter focuses on her own relationship with her daughter, and so on.. Still unsure what to make of Peter and his relationship with the...beach camp counselor? His persona as the weird sad loner seems too basic, but his interactions - when not-cringeworthy - were fun to experience.

A book that shows off all the ways a graphic novel can excel.
