This set of six
electronics-themed comics appeared in the March 1956 issue of
Radio-Electronics magazine. The one on page 84 is pretty clever, but would
need to be modernized in our semiconductor era. I'm not quite getting the page
114 comic. Computer dating is a fairly recent phenomenon - or is it? The page
142 comic suggest otherwise. In fact, I know three married couples who met via
an online dating service, all within the last ten years; my daughter is one of
them! The shopper in the page 145 comic might have misinterpreted the gist of
the signs, but taken literally maybe her assumption isn't so unreasonable. The
page 148 comic shows how a "futuristic" concept proposed in the middle of the
last century has not only been realized by 2022, but has evolved much farther
than imagined.
