In The Depression, Besides Everybody Being Poor, Our Entertainment Was Much More Primitive And Innocent. The Comic Strip, Which I So Venerated, Was Still A Very New Form. Movies Had Just Become Talkies. Radio Had Just Gone Coast To Coast For The First Time. Network Radio Had Just Begun When I Was A Kid.

All Of These Forms That I Enjoy Are In A Sense A Slight Of Hand, Where You Have To Suggest Much More Than You Really Show. You Have To, In A Sense, Seduce The Reader And Trick The Reader Or The Audience Into Going With You.
