Tech-Related Comics
The Saturday Evening Post

A few years back, I bought the issues of The Saturday Evening Post which contained the very first published comics from Peanuts creator Charles Schulz. As with just about everything else, they were available on eBay for a few bucks apiece (although prices have really gone up since the beginning of the year). Most of the issues also had articles and advertisements - and even comics - that make appropriate fodder for both RF Cafe and my hobby website, Airplanes and Rockets. Here are a few of the tech-related comics I found. The first one might seem to be a bit distasteful to the survivors of the RMS Titanic disaster and/or their relatives, given that only 36 years had passed. The middle one is about architectural engineer's expertise on how structures are built, and the Hazel comic (raise your hand if you remember watching the show) qualifies since it applies to the recreational habit of many engineers and engineering managers. FYI, I colorized the original B&W line drawings.
