The Dot and the Line	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Dot and the Line: a Romance in Lower Mathematics is a short book written and illustrated in 1963 by Norton Juster (of The Phantom Tollbooth fame). Inspired by Flatland, It follows the story of a straight line who is pining for a dot. The dot, however, is in love with a squiggle. The line learns how to manipulate himself and wins the heart of the dot.The book became the subject of a 1965 animated short by Chuck Jones, his first after leaving Warner Bros., with a screenplay by Juster himself (which is mostly Juster's original story read verbatim). It won an Academy Award for Animated Short Film.You can watch the cartoon in its entirety on You Tube here. (Ten minutes long.)
