I laughed out loud when I
saw the electronics-themed comic on page 99 of the June 1963
Radio-Electronics magazine. It is an excellent bit of situational irony.
Back in the days before easy, instant credit, with a wallet full of credit
cards, people depended on merchants and service dealers to extend a line of
credit when something was needed, but the funds were not readily available. The
sometimes strained relationship between buyer and provider were the subject of
many TV and movie comic skits, as well as in print. As you well know if you
either grew up in the era or have looked at the hundreds of vintage comics I've
posted here, dealing with customers when preforming television service created a
lot of subject fodder. Enjoy.

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.
