In Harry Nilsson's story (audio CD), The Point, Oblio (the main character) is banished from his home town in the Land of Point. Thus, Oblio and his dog, Arrow, are forced upon a journey of exploration:

Finally, the two travelers reached what appeared to be the entrance to the Pointless Forest. [. . .] Once on the other side of the barrier, Oblio and Arrow had their first encounter with the Pointless Man—or the Pointed Man, depending upon your point of view.

You see, the Pointless Man did have a point. In fact, he had hundreds of them, all pointing in different directions. But, as he so quickly pointed out, "A point in every direction is the same as—as no point at all." (Nilsson 8)
