February 1948 Radio News Cover - RF Cafe[Table of Contents]

Wax nostalgic about and learn from the history of early electronics. See articles from Radio & Television News, published 1919-1959. All copyrights hereby acknowledged.

This posting is one of more than 220 pages of electronics-themed comics from vintage electronics magazines like Radio & Television News, Radio Craft, Electronics World, Popular Electronics, and others. It is rare to find a comic in a trade magazine these days, probably due to fear of offending the sensibilities of some person who is a member of Generation Snowflake, causing him/her/it to curl up in the fetal position in a Safe Space. Some people have no sense of humor unless it is directed against a preferred foe. Being of an emotionally hardier generation, I can laugh at ribbing directed at me as long as it is done without malice.
