**Do you agree or disagree with McLuhan when he defines comics as an extension of photographic media?** Personally, I agree with McLahan when he defines comic books as an extension of photographic media. Comics them selves consist of pictures that display movement changes displaying a story. McLuhan uses the concept of “hot media” and “cold media” to help understand how it is related to photographic media. “Hot media” relates to media such as movies, that enhance the senses with little or no effort to explain the idea. “Cold Media” on the other hand, relates to comics since the observer has to make a an effort to fully understand the meaning/information portrayed.
