What better way (that
can be done in an office or lab environment) is there to end a long week of work
than with a few electronics-themed comics - in this case from a 1961 issue of
Radio-Electronics magazine (he asks rhetorically)? As can be seen by
viewing some of the other comics of the era, these are concerned with the two
biggest crazes of the day - television and stereophonic systems. In particular,
there was an ongoing low-level war persisting between homeowners and servicemen.
It was and is no different that what exits today between owners and repair
services for auto, appliance, computer, and other forms of personal possessions.
I took the liberty of colorizing all of the comics, so if something looks odd,
don't blame the artist ;-)
