The one I always laughed at was how one could make a burglar alarm out of a board with spikes in it, placed under the window. The panel showed a screaming crook with the spikes coming out of the top of his foot.

I remember that from an article in the early Sixties titled “Popular Scientific Mechanics.”

I thank you guys again for finding the name of the comic, “Ship-Mates” and the book it’s in. Does anyone know if I can view it somewhere online?

I know I should buy the book, but I just want to look at it for a moment if it’s out there. Actually, I already bought the book years ago, but it is long gone after so many moves hither and thither.

It reminds ME of an article in Mad Magazine about Pizza, by Dave Berg, from the Fifties.

I don’t want to scan it and put it up on file-sharing, both for copyright reasons, and, also, it would break the book’s binding/spine. Googling Aragones Ship-Mates brings no image hits.
