TGIF, and that means
tech-themed comics from vintage electronics magazines if I happen to have any. You'll really appreciate the
comic on page 96 of the 1965 issue of Popular Electronics. In a way, the
drawing's concept was very prescient regarding the future of flexible, bendable
circuits. A big part of the electronics world at the time centered around servicing
all the newfangled circuits and test equipment for troubleshooting and aligning
them. As is still true today, technology changed quickly and there was always a newer
model television, radio, tape recorder, stereo system, video recorder, etc. Customer
interactions and repair shop experiences provided plenty of amusing fodder for
magazine articles and comics.
