Is that the first television seen in comic books on page 29?
   By
If this comic was published in 1937, it probably was one of the first references to TV in print media. [Electronic television was first successfully demonstrated in San Francisco on Sept. 7, 1927] [RCA, the company that dominated the radio business in the United States with its two NBC networks, invested $50 million in the development of electronic television. To direct the effort, the company's president, David Sarnoff, hired the Russian-born scientist Vladimir Kosma Zworykin, who had participated in Rosing's experiments. In 1939, RCA televised the opening of the New York World's Fair, including a speech by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who was the first president to appear on television. Later that year RCA paid for a license to use Farnsworth's television patents. RCA began selling television sets with 5 by 12 in (12.7 by 25.4 cm) picture tubes. The company also began broadcasting regular programs, including scenes captured by a mobile unit and, on May 17, 1939, the first televised baseball game between Princeton and Columbia universities.] Cheers!

The comical cover art on this and subsequent issues of Star Ranger is just terrific. Too funny!
