As I often do on Fridays,
I searched through my collection of vintage electronics magazines for some tech-themed
comics. This group of five appeared in the July 1952 issue of
Radio-Electronics. A couple of these were suggested by the magazine's
readers, and staff artists turn the ideas into drawings. The Standing Waves
comics gets my vote for the best of the lot for cleverness. Page 102's comic
could be (almost) a depiction of a contemporary in-home entertainment center,
given the size of televisions today. For some reason I'm not "getting" the gag
in the page 113 comic, which features a buxom woman with big hair doing a
juggling act on TV.
