Start your week our
right with a few electronics-themed comics from these 1960's vintage
Radio-Electronics magazines. The one on page 108 is my favorite - by far
the most clever. The artist had no idea that he was drawing the world's first
e-cigarette, only not in its present-day form. The page 86 comic invokes
memories for just about everyone regarding some dummkopf neighbor or boob in a
car with the stereo volume level cranked way up. We hope they will all someday
go deaf from it, as a form of retribution. I had a neighbor one time who had a
massive stereo outdoor system around his pool, and he blasted the area all
weekend long during the summer. I finally got it under control after I would
fire up my lawn mower and leave it sitting, running, at the edge of my yard
until he finally turned it down. The guy was diagnosed with a brain tumor a
couple years later and ended up moving. Now, statisticians say correlation is
not causation, but you have to wonder... It took me some thinking to figure out
what the humor in the page 57 comic was.
