Bozo by Foxo Reardon for June 21, 2021

1. Brush to grudge-ment. 2. Rush to judgment. 3. Tush too huge, gent.

1 – “Also note how the Fuller Brush makes for an excellent and reliable door stop.”

Even with the low number of panels, like #3 having only four panels compared with the first two strips, astonishing non-verbal continuities are created!

I know of no other comic strip that consistently delivers non-verbal signifiers strip after strip after strip. The artist was a master of non-verbal information.

For me, the semiotics of the strips approach the status of the hieroglyphic forms of language.

#2. So Kens existed even back then…

1 That Bozo is one hard-headed tenderfoot.

2 What did he lose, a cuff link?

3 That cop needs to stop patrolling next to the cotton candy machine.

1. You just can’t beats thick heads.

2. Man. What a jerk. Bozo was just trying to helps.

3. A great example of why security guards needs to keep in shape.

I don’t know if it could stop a clock, but Bozo’s face stopped an oak front door and never stopped smiling.

This is the strip I look forward to reading every day.

1. Bozo sticks something in the door that can’t be hurt.

2. The real crime is what they be doing to Bozo.

3. I don’t think this is what they had in mind for a big finish.

Dog Gone Guys, I just read or look at BOZO for the fun part and the challenge of finding the Umbrella Man. For a minute I thought I was back in Art Class in College.

Re: Hoop-la-la…..a ’lil hitch in the git along, it would seem…….

1) Bozo the salesman that doesn’t quit, he puts his head in the door instead of a foot. Buy and he will go away for awhile. Purchase quicker and he will leave as swiftly.

2) Bozo minding his own business finds what another man is searching for. The be speckled man gets the shiny bauble and Bozo gets carried off by a police officer.

3) Bozo is being chased by a cop, again and runs into a huge circus tent where a dog act is playing. Through the hoop goes the dogs, then Bozo then the huge cop get’s stuck as Bozo escapes..

Love the third one today. Even with the panels so close I didn’t see that coming.

1. Bozo must have a really hard head. 2. That’s gratitude for you. 3. That cop really needs to lay off the donuts.

Thanks to the two new followers from yesterday. And thanks for the great comments made here from some obviously outstanding people. Your consistent enthusiasm for Bozo should send a signal to GoComics that the strip deserves more publicity.

1. Two blockheads

2. That doesn’t ring true.

3. Either all the way or overweight. (That cute little dog is a supporting actor in many of Bozo’s strips.)
