May 1961 Radio-Electronics  [Table of Contents]

Out of these five electronics-themed comics from the May 1961 issue of Radio-Electronics magazine, the one on page 64 is my favorite - very clever. Next in line is the page 96 comic with the two alligators; take a good look at the picture. Continuing, coming in at third is the page 60 comic, which servers to illustrate the expectations imposed on abused electronic servicemen of the era. I'm surprised anyone would do field service work. I knew a guy on Tilghman Island, on the southern Eastern Shore of Maryland, who owned and operated an electronics repair shop. He told a few good stories about interactions with feisty customers. The page 46 comic is funny, but is an old gag (maybe not so much in 1961, though). The page 114 comic is either just plain stupid, or I'm missing something. Links to hundreds of others are listed at the bottom.

About RF Cafe RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived... |
