Hmm, shouldn't the second switch on the left be in the down position?

Probably back then, the comics were cheaply made in Taiwan.

Probably... but we'll assume it's a portable color TV, since it's the same one still in use in the strip today. Just the strip is in black & white.

I hadn't considered sending these over to Taiwan to get made. I wonder if they'd be funnier?

The spelling would definitely add some extra fun.

LOL, I just made the same comment in today's strip, and hadn't seen this one..

Amazing what a guy learns...

Are you old enough to remember why that switch is there? :D

Yeah, unfortunately, I am old enough

I just never had a 2600. I went from the Sears Pong Clone to the O2, to TI-99/4A and had a brief Atari stint with the 5200. I loved the 5200's games, but the joysticks did not hold up to play very well, so I bailed on it.

We often played on a 12" B&W set. Sometimes we left the VCS set for color because it looked better.
