"McWatts" was an electronics-themed comic that appeared in Popular Electronics magazine back in the late 1957's. Artist Carl Kohler's main character is a stereotypical Joe Sixpack type electronics hobbyist who always dreams up unique ways to deal with situations. This edition shows McWatts' way of keeping the kids from using his prized tools as toys. My father would appreciate this if he had read Popular Electronics back in the day. I was always leaving my poor father's tools laying around the house and too often in the yard where they would get rained on and start to rust. If I were him, I would have been harder on me for repeat offenses. Carl was also the creator of the very popular series of humorous stories about an electronics-obsessed husband and his barely tolerating wife.
Other Carl Kohler Masterpieces:Readers of Popular Electronics magazine in the 1950's through 1970's (including me) looked forward to Carl Kohler's many humorous electronics-related stories and illustrations a few times each year. Carl's leading man was one of print media's first DIYers, and his wife suffered his often less than successful escapades in a sporting manner. Christoverre Kohler, Mr. and Mrs. Carl and Sylvia Kohler's son , contacted me to provide some amazing additional information on his parents. Be sure to read Carl Kohler's Life & Times per Son, Christoverre. |

About RF Cafe RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived... |
