Bozo by Foxo Reardon for November 14, 2021

1 Hack driver made the mistake of not thinking Bozo was the bigger tipper.

2 Don’t forget to return a few empties while you’re at it Bozo.

3 Buck up mate, maybe you’ll get the other boot.

Entire codex. Fearlessly drawn five finger hands. Bravo Foxo!

is a gentle reminder that 1949 was before the widespread acceptance (and almost before the invention of) radial ply tyres.

1. Life is like this sometimes. You helps someone and then they betrays you.

2. Life is all about quenching your thirsts. Once upon a time water was free.

3. Sometimes life gives you the boot. And sometimes that boot makes you fortunate.

…

And of course, a big thumbs up and a big round of applause for FoXo’s marvellous masterpiece, the picturesque pantomime, the wordless wonder called Bozo! The best drawn funnies ever, in the comics I has seen, drawn in full three dimensional depthful perspectives and details by a splendid cartoonist with such splendid skills – the master cartoonist FoXo Reardon.

Flat fixer. Fat fixer. Cat fisher?

1. Bozo got blown out.

2. This should save bozo some steps.

3. He who laughs last, laughs best!

2. Hotel rooms in the 1940s did not all have running water.

1) Some good deeds DO go unrewarded. 2) Water, water everywhere but apparently never enough. 3) And a fish to boot.

1) Flat-fixers Get No Satisfaction: Bozo on the street helps a cab with flat tire. For doing so the cabby leaves him instead of giving him a ride!

2) Cold Drinks Awash: At a restaurant a hot man needs cold drinks. Bozo has to bring so many in he just gets a water cooler on wheels!

3) Shoe-Fish-Shew: Pier fishing by Bozo lands him a long laced army boot with a fish in it!

2: “Hello? Yes? Ice water in 318? Is that so? Where’d you get it?” – Groucho Marx as Mr. Hammer in The Cocoanuts

3: Disney used to have an online RPG called “Mickey’s Toontown” in which players did various quests in order to improve their ability to play pranks on enemy robots. You could also go fishing to earn money by selling fish to the pet shop, but might catch a boot or a tire instead. One quest was to go fishing and catch four tires for the tire store.

¹⋰ I’m not sure how you fixed a blowout with a handpump, Bozo, but he owes you a big tip next time!

²⋰ The guy has stripped down enough and Bozo doesn’t want to have to come back to find out what else is missing.

³⋰ Good catch, Bozo. Throw the boot back in and catch another one!

1. Ah, but Bozo has the taxi driver’s air pump. That’s worth a few buck$….
