The comic that appeared
on page 59 of the February 1969 issue of Electronics World magazine is
consistent with the prevailing theme of the era where wives and girlfriends were
fairly oblivious to the meaning of technical endeavors of their husbands and boyfriends,
respectively (or not necessarily). The other comic from that edition is reflective
of the times as well, when a television was considered to be one of the essentials
of modern life. Carrying one's essentials wrapped up in a cloth and tied to the
end of a wooden pole represented the stereotypical kid running away from home. I
was a pretty rotten kid, but I don't remember ever running away from home - probably
because I knew that my parents knew that I knew that they knew I would never actually
try such a thing, if you know what I mean ;-) I took the liberty of colorizing
the comics.
