Years ago I toyed with the idea of drawing an Amateur Radio related cartoon strip. Eventually I developed a strip about little critters that infiltrate radio equipment and create mayhem. I called it "Glitches in the System." The magazine for which I created the strip went belly up, however, and the cartoons never made it into print.
Much later, after I'd begun writing The Amateur Amateur for the ARRL, I stumbled across the original six cartoons that I had drawn. I did some cleanup and added color to the first three of them, and then included them with three columns that I wrote in 2003 and 2004.
Here are those three strips, plus more that I recently recovered.
