Fantagraphics Books Announces the "Bottomless Belly Button" Web Trailer

And now a letter from your friends at Fantagraphics:

Dear friends, colleagues, countrymen, etc.

We are pleased to present an animated video trailer created by artist Dash Shaw for his graphic novel Bottomless Belly Button. You've no doubt heard of BBB, which has been possibly the most acclaimed graphic novel of the year so far. If you haven't read BBB, this trailer will give you a decent idea of the, er..., ideas behind it.

He sent it to us last week and our jaws have been on the floor ever since. Watch the streaming video here:

You can also download the original, higher-res Quicktime file (68.5 MB) here:
