What better way is there to begin
another week of long hours, marginally useful meetings, unpredictable customers,
nagging design and/or production issues, and, hopefully, even a success or two,
than to see a couple electronics-themed comics from a mid-last-century magazine?
These appeared in a 1947 edition of Radio & Television News. Seeing a
comic panel in any modern technical magazine these days is rare, if for no other
reason than a fear amongst publishers (and their lawyers) that somebody, somewhere might be offended. BTW, these comics make good fodder for the front page of your technical presentations
- a good way to soften the edge going into a meeting, especially if you are not
good at delivering jokes. Once again, I took the liberty of colorizing them.
Electronics-Themed Comics
"And this set incorporates our new 'Lighthouse' tube!"
(p104)
"We interrupt this program to bring you a special message -
Pay
your installment on the radio, Mr. Sweeney, or we'll be forced to take it back!"
(p173)
