Electronics-Themed Comics
May 1952 and May 1956 Radio & Television News

Moods are sometimes understandably less than jovial and nerves might be shot after a challenging day at work. These electronics-themed comics from a couple vintage Radio & Television News magazines might help assuage your anxieties. As with many of these old comics, you have to be privy to the mindset of the day to fully appreciate the topic. TV repair was big business and people were fascinated with the boob tube innovation rapidly consuming the attention of domestic dwellers. The first comic might be PC enough to appear in a modern electronics magazine, but the second certainly would not. It takes courage to reproduce anything like it these days. You're welcome.
