Here is a little electronics hobbyist
humor in the form of comics, compliments of Dave Harbaugh. These comics appeared
in the January 1962 issue of Popular Electronics magazine. Dave liked
to include amateur radio themes in his comics. For the non-Ham, QRM is the Q-code for "manmade interference."
You don't need to be an amateur radio operator to appreciate those first two scenarios.
The others are more generally related to electronics. A
search of RF Cafe for "Harbaugh" will turn up
many more of his works. As has been my practice of late, I colorized these
comics.
Hobnobbing with Harbaugh
Just Plain QRM

These Technically−Themed Comics Appeared in Vintage Electronics Magazines.
I personally scanned and posted every one from copies I own (and even colorized
some).
