These four electronics-themed
comics appeared in the March 1944 issue of Radio-Craft magazine. People
worldwide were still obsessed with radio and many forms of media created content
to feed the frenzy. For that matter, any form of electronic gizmo was deemed
to be magical to the average person. All sorts of fantastical inventions were
envisioned. In 1944, less than half the households had even one television set,
and hard as it may seem to believe, many did not have a single radio, either.
Newspapers and magazines constituted the primary form of news distribution and
consumption. I have to say that the comic with the quasi-Baroque-angel-style
baby holding a "radio-bottle" kind of creeps me out.
