I haven't watched much
television for the last thirty years, so I don't know if having someone get
electrocuted is still considered as funny as it used to be. Maybe that went out
with the Three Stooges. In the 1960s and 70s, just about every Prime Time comedy
show ran an episode where somebody's tooth filling was picking up radio
broadcasts. I particularly remember the Gilligan's Island episode called "Hi-Fi Gilligan" where he
became an AM radio receiver when a jolt to the jaw affected the filling in a
molar (those AM signals travelled quite a distance to that "uncharted desert
isle"). These two electronics-themed comics from 1968
Radio-Electronics magazine hits on both of those themes.
Electronics-Themed Comics
"Forget that fancy electronic tester! Joe just located the
short the old fashion way."
Page 45, October 1968
"After you two have your fun would you do something about this
filling that receives radio broadcasts?"
Page 73, November 1968

These Technically-Themed Comics Appeared in Vintage Electronics Magazines. I
personally scanned and posted every one from copies I own (and even colorized some).
256 pages as of 4/18/2025.
