November 1959 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.

Mondays usually need help to keep spirits up. Even though this is a three-day holiday weekend (Labor Day) weekend in the U.S., it is just another Monday in the rest of the world. Accordingly, here are a handful of electronics-themed comics from a 1959 issue of Radio-Electronics magazine. You need to keep in mind the relative newness of televisions at the time, with the reverence toward - and frustration with - the technology. Lots of artists had fun poking fun at TV's and those who watched and serviced them. If you are in the U.S. and don't see this until after returning to work, have a happy Tuesday. BTW, there is a huge list of technology-themed comics at the bottom of the page - I've been posting them for a couple decades now. You're welcome ;-)
