Electronics-Themed Comics
June 1969 Electronics World

June 1969 Electronics World

June 1969 Electronics World Cover - RF Cafe Website  Table of Contents 

Wax nostalgic about and learn from the history of early electronics. See articles from Electronics World, published May 1959 - December 1971. All copyrights hereby acknowledged.

These couple tech-themed comics appeared in the June 1969 issue of Electronics World magazine. The one on page 52 is a bit short-sighted even for its era given that any advanced civilization would likely no longer use vacuum tubes. For that matter, most first-world peoples on Earth were pretty much out of the vacuum tube realm by 1969. New TVs (except the CRT) and radios were almost exclusively solid state. The comic on page 61 made me chuckle out loud when I saw it. That one is worth printing out and framing to hang in the lab or outside an electronics professor's office door. 

A big list of other electronics-themed comics is at the bottom of the page.
