Nov 18, 2011 - I love this cartoon. I actually prefer it in my native language though, because the genders are inverted, the dot is male (o ponto) and the line is female (a linha), it makes more sense to that way.

Nov 22, 2011 - "And suddenly she realized that what she thought was freedom and joy was nothing more than anarchy and sloth." I love that line.

Nov 24, 2011 - @EHH246 Yes this comes across as anti-hippy.

Jan 12, 2012 - @roryphelan Norton Juster's The Phantom Tollbooth had the same themes. They do seem anti-hippy, since both are from the early 60s. But considering that he was an architect, I thought they were mostly about aesthetic beauty and joy that can come from orderliness and logic, rather than a social statement.
