Here are a couple more electronics-themed comics from vintage Popular Electronics
magazines. Only one comic appeared in each of the May 1962 and April 1974 issues,
so I combined them onto a single page. The comic from 1962 has a message I had not
considered before about otherwise unassociated businesses horning in on a traditional
business' purview, in this case drug stores selling replacement vacuum tubes, thereby
robbing sales from the electronics repair shops. Regarding the other comic,
consider if the roles were reversed and the husband was about to beat the wife
with a club. Would that be considered funny? Personally, I take it in the manner
of good humor intended, but way too many people are way too easily offended.
