 * Do you agree with McLuhan when states comics are an extension of photographic media? Why or why not?**

Yes I do agree that comics are an extension of photographic media. The media uses a mix of words and images to tell a story. Photographic media such as video and photography both engage the consumer with visual stimuli. The media would be considered closer to those types of media then for example radio which has no visual stimuli. This "cool" media tells a story with the use of both images and words. The media unlike video and photography which use actual captured images to tell a story uses illustrations to help convey a message. Therefore it is not photographic media on its own but an extension of it as it takes aspects of photographic media (like silent movies) to convey a message.
