Four new (old) electronics-themed comics here for you from a 1964 issue of Radio-Electronics magazine. All aptly represent the mindset of the public back in the day. As I have noted many times before, television was a relatively new phenomenon for a lot of households, especially the transition from black and white to color. It was a big deal. Installation and repair constituted the two major causes of upset with TV ownership. People were willing to put up with a lot of imperfections in reception and performance before paying out money for professional help. When the situation finally reached the point of intolerance, frustrations were often taken out on the poor service man, whether in the home or in the shop. Two of these comics play off that. The page 14 comic is a pun, while the page 105 comic represents a popular bit of sympathy for henpecked husbands. I colorized them for you.
