What better way
is there to begin another week of long hours, marginally useful meetings, unpredictable customers,
nagging design and/or production issues, and, hopefully, even a success or two, than to see a couple
electronics-themed comics from a mid-last-century magazine? These appeared in 1947 edition of Radio &
Television News. Seeing a comic panel in any modern technical magazine these days is rare, if for
no other reason than a fear amongst publishers (and their lawyers) that
somebody, somewhere might be offended.
BTW, these comics make good fodder for the front page of your technical presentations - a good way
to soften the edge going into a meeting, especially if you are not good at delivering jokes.

on the radio, Mr. Sweeney, or we'll be forced to take it back!" (p173)
