Many topics of the
electronics-themed comics which appeared in Radio-Craft were suggested
by the magazine's readers. Staff artist like Frank Beaven turned those
suggestion into cartoons. For a while there was a special feature called "Radio
Term Illustrated" where, as the name suggests, terms like "Signal Generator" and
"High
Potential" are rendered in farcical form. These four comics, two of each
type, appeared in a May 1947 issue of Radio-Craft. I have to admit that
even with my familiarity with vintage electronics memes I do not get the
Television "Organ" comic (yes, I understand the organ grinder, but not how it
applies to TV).
