Electronics-Themed Comics
August 1962 Electronics World

August 1962 Electronics World

August 1962 Electronics World Cover - RF Cafe  Table of Contents 

Wax nostalgic about and learn from the history of early electronics. See articles from Electronics World, published May 1959 - December 1971. All copyrights hereby acknowledged.

Here are a couple new-old electronics themed comics for your pre-Saturday enjoyment. They appeared in a 1962 issue of Electronics World magazine. If you never had a television antenna on your roof, then you might not see the humor in the first comic. Actually, a lot of roof-top antennas are still being installed, but they're most often the newer compact type antenna with a built-in preamplifier and rotator motor. A huge list of other tech theme comics I have posted is at the bottom of the page. They would make good fodder for your at-work presentations to put attendees in a good mood.
