Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The signals were not coupled, at least not in that way, and at least in NTSC. None of the bandwidth of the audio signal overlaps with the video signal. In fact, the audio signal was just a standard FM signal that you could tune into with a radio.
Maybe in those days they just played a loud noise that didn't actually replace the sound and that was cheaper than setting something up with bandpass filters to mute it for a moment.
wow, so today when we have podcasts that are also available as long youtube videos, we are in fact continuing a (single century) long tradition
I suppose you could view it like that lol. I'm not sure if modern video formats found a way to compress audio and video together. My guess is not because they're so inherently different. Films (like ya know, movies on film) had the audio on the film besides the frames.
