Comics are a great source
of levity to take you away from the day's normal flow of events. My favorite comic
strips contain themes that relate to familiar scenarios or that catch me by surprise
with their message. Technically themed strips like this collection from Radio-Electronics
magazine are particularly welcome, but I do not appreciate gratuitous meanness and
never care to see death, dismemberment, or gore. Call me a prude, but I'm shocked
sometime by what appears in the daily newspaper comic strips (yes, I still read
the comics - and work the puzzles - every day). There are plenty more comics where
these came from, so stay tuned if you like them, too. Come to think of it, maybe
the "Fast" in "Fast TV Service" on page 102 in the November 1958 comic is a
double entendre.
