Lord love a duck, they're not that one dimensional. When I was a teenager I likeD Dostoyevsky and DC Marvel comics. Still do in fact. The thing is they just don't put as much weight on THE WORD as our generation did. OK that's strange from our perspective. Our old stlye cultural perspective. But we are known that even our lovely Western civilisation has only had high literacy rates for a very short time. We tend to think a culture can't be complex unless its highly literate. Hold on a second I think I can see one of my favourite hobby horses galloping over in my direction.
