If you appreciate good
humor, then you'll appreciate these electronics-themed comics from the January 1958 edition of
Radio-Electronics. Their themes are representative of situations common in
the era - like TV repairman woes and men obsessed over electronics gadgets while
ignoring their wives. Not that there are rarely ever any comics in today's electronics
magazines, but if there were, they likely would poke fun at
Oblivion texters and
depict fathers being made to look like fools by their disrespectful kids for not
knowing how to program a Roku player.
