This is a great electronics-themed
comic from a February 1972 issue of Popular Electronics. It encompasses the
essence of the stereotypical salesman ruse, especially in that era when people were sure
that electronics repair services were out to rip them off by selling unneeded services
and replacement parts. Aspiring TV technicians who couldn't grasp the technology moved
on to working as
mechanics in a garage, poking tiny holes in brake lines to scare
owners into paying for complete braking system rebuilds.
Sometimes there might be four or five comics in an issue, other times none, and like
this issue, just one. I usually like to post multiple comics on each page, but at the
moment only this one is available.
