Bozo by Foxo Reardon for August 31, 2021

Horns on Bozo painting could have a reference in Michelangelo’s “Mose”:

1 Sorry mister, I was looking for Bozann.

2 Keep at it guys. Three more safes and you’ll reach Bozo’s lunchbox.

3 I’ve seen that look somewhere before…but where?

1) Equal opportunity peeper. 2) Just to be extra safe. 3) Umbrella Guy was there first.

1. Meh. Yours was boring anyways. This one looks more interesting.

2. Ah, the old safe inside a safe trick.

3. Bozo you little devil you.

And once again, great comics with great artwork. Once again, as usual, a big thumbs up for Foxo’s marvellous masterpiece, the wordless wonder Bozo!

That’s the closest I’ve ever seen umbrella guy in the first one.

1. Just looking for something to clean up.

2. Whatever is in there is a little safe.

3. The devil made me do it.

1) Eye on the Prize: Peeping Bozo in between mopping is looking in keyholes. A gentleman is not amused.

2) Layers: While Bozo is in the office a safe cracker blows the door off finding a smaller safe within. The thief isn’t happy as much as Bozo is. Arrests to soon follow.

3) Art of the draw: While posing during an art class Bozo get’s down and draws devil’s horns on himself to show his imp the perverse is there.

Who is the “Umbrella Guy?”

The four panels in strip #1 each have a diagonal form that is the mop that Bozo carries.

Panels numbers 1 & 2 have the diagonal of the mop handle and panel numbers 3 & 4 reverse the angle of Bozo’s mop handle.

It’s having the effect of constructing a reverse-perspective image and involves all four panels.

Is it possible to learn of Foxo’s studies in art school, art college, or whatever?

Wherever it was, Foxo learned large about narrative and pictorial space.

I like the composition of strip #2 and the Umbrella Guy, walking outside in what appears to be rainfall at nighttime.

I also enjoyed panel #3 in strip #3 showing a drawing of Umbrella guy.
