2. Long before The Dark Side Of The Horse … There was Bozo!
3. Bozo may be poor but he a generous tipper.
…
Such a joy to read such fun comics every day which is well drawn so spectacularly by skillful hands. Once again a big thumbs up and a big applause for Foxo’s marvellous masterpiece, the picturesque pantomime, the wordless wonder called Bozo!
✔₁ The use of the term “Pop” for a soft drink is very regional in the United States. Even knowing Foxo’s story I’m still not sure where he might have been when he drew this strip.
✔₂ Leaky ceiling in a city apartment building during a rain storm? Even the top floor would have an attic above it. My conclusion is it’s a plumbing leak.
✔₃ What did Bozo have to eat for $1.55, and what would it cost today, 70+ years later? Perhaps a turkey plate with coffee? Today in a nice restaurant that might cost 15 times as much, or $23.25. So at that price Bozo’s $10 tip would still be generous. That’s why we love him!
(I know, it’s just a comic strip, but I have fun trying to extrapolate more details.)

1. Yes. Yes. You can lead a horse to the water… and I’m glad, YOU did
2. …but you shouldn’t take it to your attic afterwards…
3. …Just a tip, ya know?

2 Bozo starts quacking up. (Nice hidden cameo by Umbrella Guy)
3 Uncle Bennie’s branching out from hock shops.

Coincidentally, Bozo ordered lamb and duck.
No horse.

My opinion of Bozo just went up with the first panel. Love this strip.

1) Horse Sense: Mounted police officer stops to eat, Bozo notices the thirsty horse and takes him to get a drink!
2) Sleep Woes: Insomnia is with Bozo with the sheep, a leak starts and they change to ducks in the a row in the water.
3) Rich Company: Bozo is given a fine dinner then tips 10 times the cost of the dinner as Bozo isn’t down on his luck and loaded with cash!
