Television (TV) and high fidelity stereo (HiFi) were a big deal from the 1950s through
the 1970s as electronics technology underwent major improvements in component capabilities
and research produced high-complexity circuits that featured sophisticated methods of
signal processing. The industry went through the transition from vacuum tubes to transistors
during that three decade period, setting the groundwork for the next generation of microprocessor-based
audio-visual entertainment. Printed comics and TV and radio shows favorite themes included
jokes having to do with Joe Sixpack and his family's anecdotes involving television and
HiFi stereo. Here are a few more from the mid-1960s. I colorized them. A complete list of all the comics
I have posted is at the bottom of the page.
