February 1964 Radio-Electronics Cover - RF Cafe[Table of Contents]

Wax nostalgic about and learn from the history of early electronics. See articles from Radio-Electronics, published 1930-1988. All copyrights hereby acknowledged.

The February 1964 issue of Radio-Electronics magazine contained these three electronics-themed comics. The one on page 48 reminds me of the time about a decade ago when I was moving an old freezer out of someone's garage, and found underneath it a huge skeleton of some sort of rodent or ruminant. I'm not sure what it was, but given the ferocious teeth if had I was glad it was long dead. The page 100 comic is my favorite. I didn't notice at first what was displayed on the oscilloscope. "Getting" the page 109 comic took a moment, but the gag eventually hit me. I colorized them to bring them into the 21st Century.

"Get a load of what I found in your set, Mrs. Broadway - dead about 3 years, I'd say!"

"Let's see ... I need one 5U4-G."

These Technically-Themed Comics Appeared in Vintage Electronics Magazines. I personally scanned and posted every one from copies I own (and even colorized some). 275 pages as of 5/13/2026.
