Because say, animation, can contain the entirety of a comic book. You could easily have 9 panels on screen, each moving in sequence, or not moving at all. Of course you can show 9 scenes at the same time in film and animation, it's just dumb to do so since the act of editing much more seamlessly and powerfully creates relationships between images, but if you want to have panels on the screen nothing stops you. That is why comics are obsolete: animation can do the same thing, PLUS SO MUCH MORE.
