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.
