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
magazine. 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. I took the liberty of coloring
them.
