Here is a batch of electronics-themed
comics that appeared in the January 1949 edition of Radio & Television News.
The scene seen (hey, homonyms) on the page 118 comic was commonplace in the 1940s
when televisions were relatively new and not every household had a set. The scenario
repeated itself in the 1960s when color sets were hitting the consumer market. I
remember people standing outside the display window at Rickey's TV & Electronics
store in
Parole Plaza, Annapolis, Maryland. Now, people can watch TV on their smartphones
while not at home so gathering 'round the television display in a store is relegated
pretty much to little kids watching the Disney movies that seem to always running
on them. There is an ever-growing list of other comics at the bottom of the page.
Comics
"Now, madam are you certain there are no other parts that need
explaining?"
(Page 110)
"You should see this place on Saturday night!"
(Page 118)
"It positively refuses to play the classics!"
(Page 139)
