Electronics-Themed Comics

June 1963 Radio-Electronics Cover - RF Cafe[Table of Contents]

Wax nostalgic about and learn from the history of early electronics. See articles from Radio-Electronics, published 1930-1988. All copyrights hereby acknowledged.

I laughed out loud when I saw the electronics-themed comic on page 99 of the June 1963 Radio-Electronics magazine. It is an excellent bit of situational irony. Back in the days before easy, instant credit, with a wallet full of credit cards, people depended on merchants and service dealers to extend a line of credit when something was needed, but the funds were not readily available. The sometimes strained relationship between buyer and provider were the subject of many TV and movie comic skits, as well as in print. As you well know if you either grew up in the era or have looked at the hundreds of vintage comics I've posted here, dealing with customers when preforming television service created a lot of subject fodder. Enjoy.
