Wax nostalgic about and learn from the history of early electronics. See articles from Popular Electronics, published October 1954 - April 1985. All copyrights are hereby acknowledged.

Here is a dose of high tech POPULAR ELEComics levity to help ease your workaday blues. This set of comics is from the December 1967 issue of Popular Electronics magazine. As usual they represent issues of concern to people in the day. Television set problems were always a good topic to make fun of, because most people had a love-hate relationship with their sets. It drove them crazy when the reception crapped out at a crucial moment during a sports event or a war movie or a daytime soap opera tragedy. Dealing with home stereo systems also presented many a frustration to a novice audiophile. Ham radio operators, with their trials and tribulations, were good fodder as well. The comics are by Mr. Marvin Townsend, who did a lot of the comics for Popular Electronics. I colorized them for you.
