'''''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 hopelessly in love with 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.
In 1965, Juster wrote a screenplay and acclaimed animator [[Chuck Jones]] animated it. It won an [[Academy Award]] for Animated Short Film.
