McSweeney's Quarterly tasked animator Lars Edwards to put together a trailer for artist Art Spiegelman's upcoming collection of sketchbooks called 'Be a Nose!'. I've read and been a fan of Speigelman's work for quite some time, so I'm looking forward to checking this out!

I still think the Jewish mice wearing pig masks to disguise themselves as Poles in Maus is the single greatest conceit in all of comics.

Hey Pradoc, thanks for those links! I'm very familiar with Don Hertzfeldt's work, but I hadn't seen the Chirs Ware cartoon. Really great animation.
Thanks for sharing!
