3. As asked in the reading, why is our culture so in thrall to the simplified reality of the cartoon?
I think some of the very appreciated aspects of American culture is its obsession with simplicity and related to that things like convenience and quick-fixes. As McCloud says in his article, a cartoon simplifies the meaning of something to basically its core. You can look at that as one of American culture's main characterists. a desire to make things (everything) easier. If the meaning of a media piece can be made super easy and convenient to understand, American's are going to prefer that over something complicated.
