Bozo by Foxo Reardon for June 08, 2021

1 Six in the morning is no time for a heart to heart chat. No wonder he got a chilly reception to his lukewarm delivery.

2 Ringers only count in horseshoes.

3 Bozo hates cigars that smell worse than his.

Heh, that first one certainly comes from a different time.

1. Bozo’s gal pal. She melts hearts and ice. Say, what’s that thing he’s putting the water into? That a 1947 ice cooler?

2. Whoops. The cheap adhesive came off!

3. Bozo didn’t have his knock out cigar with him. So he uses an alternative to win the battle.

Third panel is the perfect answer to some idiot blowing smoke in someone’s face.

1. My how time flies when talking to a good looking lady.

2. Maybe this wouldn’t have happened if Bozo was wearing his usual bowler.

3. Here, let me clear the air for you!

3. So this is the original version of Cigar Wars, in which Greedo shows his gun, but Bozo shoots first.

1. And the moral of the story is: If you want your ice delivered before it melts, tell your daughter not to spend an hour flirting with the iceman! 15 or 20 minutes ought to be enough … even if he is a cutie….

Hmm. I am stymied at trying to find a cohesive element spanning across all three panels today. But…. none-the-less, all three intrigue:

1. Phase change in matter is an important concept that we do struggle with in a variety of contexts. I worry though, that the ice chest will now have its foods damaged.

2. Unlike the classic fedora the first gentleman has casually tossed, Bozo’s “straw boater” hat is not of sufficient fortitude and fiber to withstand the gravitational forces from landing on the hat peg.

3. The gargantuan “musclehead” who is blowing smoke at Bozo…. seems quite riled up in the conversation. Bozo’s squirt gun handles the situation initially…. but I worry that it may be best for Bozo to make a quick exit.

Umbrella man missing in the last one???? :)

1. Hey Bozo, look at the first panel. Now, look at the last. What’s different?
