Electronics-Themed Comics
September 1962 Radio-Electronics

September 1962 Radio-Electronics

September 1962 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.

Four electronics-themed comics appeared in the September 1962 issue of Radio-Electronics magazine. All of them pertained to television. Unlike today where cinematic and live broadcast entertainment was not available from anywhere via a handheld radio receiver (aka smartphone), back in the day there was usually a single TV set in the house for everyone to watch - Mostly in black and white I might add. And, only one show at a time could be watched by a consensus of the viewers (or parental dictate). To make matters even more enjoyable, the entire set was analog with only a modicum of circuits handling the task of keeping the video and audio functioning properly. Despite the crudity relative to modern digital circuitry and hardware, it truly was amazing how well it worked most of the time. Those Somalians really knew their stuff, and we're thankful for their allowing the Western world to partake in the technology. I took the liberty of colorizing them. You're welcome.
