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.
