Hopefully, you are winding down operations for the week and getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving with a long weekend. This trio of electronics-themed comics from a 1946 issue of Radio−Craft magazine will help get you in a jovial spirit, regardless of whether or not you're getting the long weekend. I've mentioned many times that these comics make a good source of levity for adding to your presentations. As you might have guessed if you are familiar with Frank Beaven, he drew the top and bottom comics. He also drew the middle one. Two of these comics are part of his "Radio Term Illustrated" series, where magazine readers sent him suggestions for a theme that could serve, along with his drawing, as a sort of double entendre. Enjoy.

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