Bottomless Belly Button -No Cold Belly Button - Dash Shaw
Bottomless Belly Button -No Cold Belly Button - Dash Shaw
After some 40 years together, Maggie and David Loony shock their three children by announcing that they are getting a divorce. Their explanation is simple: "We don't love each other anymore." The announcement kicks off a six-day family reunion at Maggie and David's oceanfront (and possibly haunted) house.
The eldest son, Dennis, who does not accept his parents' decision, is also faced with his own marital problems. Claire, the youngest, is raising her 16-year-old daughter alone and seems not to react to the divorce. Finally, Peter, the youngest of the family, an aspiring director paralyzed by his anxieties, embarks on a romantic adventure with a mysterious summer camp counselor.
