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.) | |

Gray Rain of Depression: In the cartoon, raindrops are falling as the Line wanders across the frame after being rejected by the dot, ending in one drop falling on the Line and rolling down like a tear. | |

Comes Great Responsibility | |
The Dot and the Line / int_d581ba71 | comment |
Comes Great Responsibility: Once the Line discovers his hidden ability to alter his shape, he gets all impulsive with it, creating a mess of jagged edges and angles, no different than the Squiggle. This is what prompts him to handle the ability more responsibly and practices making more eloquent shapes. | |

All Girls Want Bad Boys: The Dot to the Squiggle, who is "wild and unkempt." However, she eventually realizes just how unappealing (not to mention unorganized) he is and ends up with the Line. | |
