A dictionary of Marshall McLuhan’s quotations

“McLuhan loved talking about comic art and its relation to iconics. He loved Pogo, L'il Abner, Superman, and always compared them to the Altamira Cave drawings, the stained-glass designs of St, George & the Dragon, and the illuminated manuscripts of medieval monks.”
--Dean Motter
Comic illustrator and student of both McLuhans, Eric and Marshall in the 1970s
