These couple
tech-themed comics appeared in the November and December issues of
Electronics World magazine - one apiece. The November comic presents what
would have been considered a futuristic mega-size television that required
technology nowhere near reality at the time. The only type of display available
then was a cathode ray tube (CRT), which would require a cabinet many times
deeper than the one shown to accommodate. Maybe artist G. Lyons foresaw plasma,
LCD, or LED flat screen displays - but I doubt it. The salesman's comment is
somewhat prescient in that an Internet search will find many examples of
larger
vintage TV cabinets which have been modified to serve as pet houses,
bookcases, liquor cabinets, etc. The other comic is a pun on the
overly-enthusiastic antennas home-bewer.
