RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...

Electronics-Themed Comics
September 1949 Radio & Television News |
It's Friday, so why
not kick back at the end
of work today and enjoy these electronics-themed comics from a vintage edition of Radio & Television News?
Seeing a comic panel in any modern technical magazine these days is rare, if for no other reason than a fear
amongst publishers (and their lawyers) that somebody, somewhere might be offended. You have my invitation to create a good-humored
cartoon about me or RF Cafe anytime you wish, and I promise not to sue you. I'll even post it here on the website
if you like.
BTW, these comics make good fodder for the front page of your technical presentations - a good way to soften
the edge going into a meeting, especially if you are not good at delivering jokes.
Electronics-Themed Comics
"Can't you do anything for him, Doctor? He keeps chewing up records and mumbling '78 ... 33-1/3
... 45 ... 33-1/3 ... 78 r.p.m.!'" (p88)
"Since I reversed our electrical current, all we get is the backs of the performers!" (p96)
"Got a sale on resistors, Joe ... 3 ohms, 79,000 watts?" (p108)
"It's a three-way job ... a.c., d.c., and B.C.!" (p139)
"I saw her on a 16" screen last night ... WOW!" (p140)
Posted July 10, 2015
These Technically-Themed Comics Appeared in Vintage Electronics Magazines.
I personally scanned and posted every one from copies I own (and even colorized
some).
