Missing The Point applies the tone of serious corporate policy briefs to absurd fictional problems, such as whether the Master Sword is anti-capitalist or whether Pokémon should be classed as friends or food. Each issue is a deadpan satire that mimics think-tank reasoning to expose bad logic in economics, ethics and wellbeing.
