We hit the
electronics-themed comics mother lode with the December 1955 issue of
Radio-Electronics magazine. Maybe it was considered a Christmas present for
the readers (those like me who appreciate such features). Eight; count 'em;
eight. Some months have none at all. I was so appreciative that I went to the
trouble to add color (all were originally B&W). Even nearly seven decades hence,
you can still appreciate the humor as you remember that in the days vacuum tube
equipment there was a lot of self-service and in-home service being done,
causing plenty of comical (to those not affected) scenarios to ensue.
