There isn't a visual medium where backgrounds matter less than comics. The value is at best textural. But narratively, because of the way people read, it is naive to expect much value from them.

No. I think even comics with the most worked background, the value it holds is lower than mediums that focus on one image, or things like film and photography. Whether you think it is completely valueless, is another discussion. But it is the least valuable for sure

any part of the drawing that is communicating is valuable: sometimes a sketched building is all that needs to be communicated; in Elder and Wood's Mad, every bit of chicken fat is communicating a new joke, or in support of the "main text" of the panel
