Electronics-Themed Comics
January 1950 Radio & Television News

January 1950 Radio & Television News
January 1950 Radio & Television News Cover - RF Cafe Website[Table of Contents]

Wax nostalgic about and learn from the history of early electronics. See articles from Radio & Television News, published 1919-1959. All copyrights hereby acknowledged.

Here, for your work-week enjoyment, are a half dozen electronics-themed comics that appeared in the January 1950 edition of Radio & Television News magazine. When is the last time you saw a comic in a technical magazine? I particularly like the one with the "green worm" displaying on the television. There is a list of other comics at the bottom of the page.
