"Asking any reader to have to do homework in order to understand a story that they’re reading is ridiculous. Imagine asking the same of a film or a novel or a television show. Absurd!" Don't TV shows do that all the time? Do you think a late episode of Breaking Bad is accessible to someone who's never watched the series?

Yes, I do. A new viewer may not understand every aspect of every relationship, but go back and watch any random episode and pay attention to just how often the characters’ names and relationships are stated and re-stated within the context of each episode. Sure, to get the full picture, you might want to go back and watch the whole thing, but a television series, like a comic book series, picks up readers by hooking them as it goes. How many of those Breaking Bad viewers do you think started with the first episode?
