The comic book for example has been seen as a
degenerate literary form instead of as a nascent
pictorial and dramatic form which has sprung from
the new stress on visual-auditory communication in
the magazines, the radio and television. The young
today cannot follow narrative, but they are alert to
drama. They cannot bear description but they love
landscape and action.
Marshall McLuhan to Harold Innis, March 14, 1951,
Letters of Marshall McLuhan , (Toronto, 1987), p.
222.
