Comics with a Technology Theme
May 1972 and
July 1972 Popular Electronics
I own the complete Calvin and Hobbes set.
Calvin's Spaceman Spiff and Tracer Bullet alter egos are the greatest!
Here are a couple more tech-themed comics from vintage Popular Electronics magazines. Only one comic appeared in each of the May 1972 and July 1972 issues, so I combined them onto a single page. What's that guy in the May comic in the background doing? Anyone remember those pieces of furniture that were once a staple of engineering offices? I spent many an hour sitting at such drafting tables drawing schematics and block diagrams as an electronics technician. By the time I earned my BSEE, everyone was using computer CAD software, albeit still rather crude by today's standards. The July comic reminds me of a scenario that might have appeared in one of the old Calvin and Hobbes comic strips that graced our newspapers up through the end of 1995. Calvin's father, in case you didn't know, was a patent attorney. I added color to spice them up a tad.

About RF Cafe RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived... |
