What better way is there
to resuscitate a challenging work day than to kick back and enjoy these electronics-themed
comics from a vintage edition of Radio & Television News magazine?
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. You have my invitation to create a good-humored cartoon
about me or RF Cafe anytime you wish, and I promise not to sue you. I'll even post
it here on the website if you like. BTW, these comics make great 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.
Electronics-Themed Comics
"Can't you do anything for him, Doctor? He keeps chewing up
records and mumbling
'78 ... 33-1/3 ... 45 ... 33-1/3 ... 78 r.p.m.!'"
(p88)
"Since I reversed our electrical current, all we get is the
backs of the performers!"
(p96)
"Got a sale on resistors, Joe ... 3 ohms, 79,000 watts?"
(p108)
"It's a three-way job ... a.c., d.c., and B.C.!"
(p139)
"I saw her on a 16" screen last night ... WOW!"
(p140)
