The December 1962
issue of Radio-Electronics magazine contained five electronics-themed
comics. I've seen as many as six in one edition, but two or three is the norm.
The page 34 comic is typical of those picking fun at the brainiac type research
scientist. Anyone who has just finished reassembling a complex piece of
equipment and then realized a part had been left out will relate to the page 63
comic. Two of them play off the common-at-the-time theme of the love / hate
relationship people had with television repairmen. Finally, the one on page 111
reflects a major fad in that era of people with their fancy home audio systems.
I took the liberty of coloring all of them.
