Here are a couple more
electronics-themed comics, this time ones that appeared in the October 1951
edition of Radio & Television News magazine. When is the last time you saw a
comic in a technical magazine? Note the AC power cord attached to the "portable"
television (I assume the "His" on the guy's towel implies that "Hers" is at the
other end of the power cord). Television was a big deal in the day. Color TV was
not commercially available until a few years later. Nowadays, a person would
have a smartphone, tablet, or notebook computer while on the can. There is a
huge list of other comics at the bottom of the page

"Darn portable television! (Page 122)
"Yuh mean yuh have to keep yore eyes open to see it? (Page 160)

These Technically-Themed Comics Appeared in Vintage Electronics Magazines. I
personally scanned and posted every one from copies I own (and even colorized some).
272 pages as of 2/15/2026.
