Electronics-Themed Comics
September and November 1949 Radio-Electronics

Let us finish off the year 2021 with some humor; goodness knows we need it after yet another 365 days of what has been awfully close to a worldwide COVIDictatorship. "15 Days to Slow the Spread" back in early spring of 2020 mutated like a coronavirus into unlimited variants of government mandates restricting or destroying freedom of movement, freedom of association, freedom of personal health choice, freedom of comfort, and numerous other freedoms. These electronics-related comics appeared in a couple 1949 issues of Radio-Electronics magazine. Enjoy (if you still can). I do wonder why the octopus only does the work of three servicemen when he has four times the number of arms?
