La Linea: the man drawn with a single unbroken line.
“Animator Osvaldo Cavandoli starts each episode by drawing a horizontal line in white grease pencil. The line takes on human form. Mr. Line�s a zesty guy, the sort who throws himself into whatever it is he�s doing, whether ogling girls at the beach (top), playing classical piano (above) or ice skating (below). Whenever he bumps up against an obstacle�an uncrossable gap in his baseline, an inadvertently exploded penis (NSFW, below)�he calls upon the godlike hand of the animator to make things right.”
