No batteries, no electricity - I wonder how they did this…

(from America’s Best Comics # 23, 1947, with thanks to the many scanners)

  That would have to be a crystal radio — they don’t need power, but they don’t amplify sound, either. See the reference to the “powerful crystal detector” and “built-in earphone.”
