October 1969 Electronics World

October 1969 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 tech-themed comics that appeared in the October 1969 issue of Electronics World magazine. The one I like best has two guys applying for a patent on their computers. Note the size difference. It portended the future of microcircuits. Of course the mother-in-law comics are always funny and were common back in the day. This one literally superimposed the hi-fi fad of the era with the mother-in-law jab. There is a huge list at the bottom of the page of links to other comics I have posted over the years. BTW, people have asked why I separate the text from the image. The answer is simple: If someone finds the image using an image search, he/she has to actually visit the webpage to get the punch line. Does that make me a bad person?
