Here is a great collection of electronics-themed comics from the October 1952 issue of Radio-Electronics magazine. My favorite is the one on page 100 where the radio repair shop mocks the next-door pharmacy's promotion of a self-repair manual. The page 144 comic is another play on the theme that casts aspersions on the do-it-yourself electronics repairmen of the day. Many self-help books were written purporting to make repairing a radio or television a simple task, while convincing people that repair shops were just out to cheat them. I have posted many comics illustrating the folly of such endeavors. Two of the comics are ham radio related, and the other (a total of seven!) is a self-deprecating shot at a hobbyist building a circuit of some sort.

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... |
