If you like the radio-themed
comics from vintage electronics magazines, then you'll appreciate the jackpot of
them (5) in the July 1945 issue of Radio Craft magazine. Being the era
in which it was published, many of the comics at the time had
military-electronics themes as well. A lot of them are credited to subscribers
providing ideas. One of my favorite features is "Radio Terms Illustrated," where
readers write in with suggestions for how common lingo in the radio realm can
have an alternate interpretation. Such is the case with "Wave Trap" in the first
comic. I think Frank Beaven was the illustrator for all of them. Look in the big
list of other technical-themed comics at the bottom of the page for others which
include "Radio Terms Illustrated."
