It's Friday afternoon as I prepare this trio of vintage electronics-themed comics for posting. They all appeared in the October 1964 issue of Radio-Electronics magazine. All three reflect the home entertainment craze of the era, in particular TV. Color TV was making inroads into homes, despite the relatively high cost, and in 1964, many programs were still being broadcast in black and white (B&W).

The love-hate relationship the public had with electronics equipment repairmen (it worked both ways) is evident here. Millennials will never be able to relate to the slings and arrows suffered by those of us who lived during the CRT TV times, but then we Boomers can't appreciate the inconveniences of our predecessors who did without indoor plumbing.
