It's the Friday before Christmas
vacation and nobody is thinking about work. If you are stopping by RF Cafe to kill time
until the boss lets you go home (early, preferably), thanks for thinking of us. Not that
you really need something to get you in a festive mood, but here are a few funny amateur
radio-themed comics from a 1966 issue of Popular Electronics magazine, compliments
of artist Buz Holland. When I saw the comic with the parrot squawking CQ while including
his call sign - WA4YKK - my first thought was to check the FCC's
Universal License System (ULS) to see to whom it belongs, and then
I realized it was the artist's (though no longer assigned).
Comics: There's One in Every Crowd
By Buz Holland WA4YKK
"And then she threw all my QSL cards into the fire."
"I'm studying this manual on transistors."
"Must be on the YL net again ... he never talks to me like that."
"CQ. CQ. CQ. CQ. CQ, WA4YKK. CQ. CQ, CQ, CQ. CQ, CQ, CQ, CQ, CQ
........"
"Move, Cathy. I'm taking a picture for my QSL card."
