Bozo by Foxo Reardon for February 16, 2022

1. Always got a nice little pin.

2. Not sure I get this one unless.. Is the fellow an unwitting fisherman, the compressor/hose the rod and Bozo the hook?

3. A potpourri of drama, pathos, romance, mystery, quest and adventure, screwball comedy, mirth.. and Bozo!

Bozanne has never been so comely rendered, IMO. Fans of Liberty Meadows and Fritzi Ritz should be summoned.

Unless they prefer the like of Broom Hilda or Miss Peach.. Hey, to each their own, I say.

“Everybody give” – the good news is that the vaccine trials were only three years or so away at that point, so help was very much on the way.

1. A nice message.

2. A nice catch.

3. A nice thing to do.

…

BOZO is such a nice comic.

These best drawn best funnies never fails to cheers me up. A big thumbs up, a big applause, and three cheers of course, for marvellous FoXo’s magnificent masterpiece, the pleasant picturesque pantomime, the ever entertaining evergreen entertainer BOZO!

Fuzzy lives a dangerous life!

1) Fuzzy on the wire – or at least on the electrical post.

2) Man overboard! Fuzzy taking a swim with one free hand.

3) Fuzzy on a sliding slope…

1) Heart wins over bullets. 2) No smoking on this fishing trip. 3) Bozo’s love life is on a downward slope.

2. I did a helmet dive without a full suit, just a weighted helmet. I was in constant fear that the helmet would fall off if I looked down to see where I was stepping. But the experience with fish swimming around my head was pretty neat.

3. Poor Bozann, wondering what other date Bozo has found.

What ever happened to the March of Dimes? Did we finally get there or did it move to the internet?

1 Even crooks could get polio.

2 Not the treasure from the sea the pumpman was looking for, but a Bozo’s gotta eat. Right?

3 Bozann about to turn Bozo into a snowman. He’s already got the top hat.

I remember those early years in elementary school with the card with either 10 slots or more for you to fill with dimes. I had so many classmates in my neighborhood, it was hard to fill that card with dimes. Any relatives that came to the house was fair game for a dime. Bozann maybe mad but I guess she figures Bozo could be a great father (maybe a lousy husband….but like most wives can either change as much of our bad habits.)

No cigar in any of these. I realize it might not be possible to keep it lit underwater or on the sled, but this is dated January, 1951. Did he quit smoking?

1. Even bad guys have some kindness in their hearts.

2. Bozo knows to be a good fisherman, you need to get to where the fish are.

3. Bozann was stood up because Bozo got a better offer.

FDR helped the March of Dimes by talking about the charity and the research to find a polio vaccine. That’s why he’s on the dime.

1) Crime never pays, but it pays to advertise.

2) The food is really fresh, but the place is a dive.

3) Looks like someone missed the dinner belle…

Alternate slate:

1) Catching a break

2) Diving catch

3) He’s a real catch…

1) Catching the wind

2) Catching a wave

3) Gonna catch a cold if he’s not careful

Nice touch in today’s first strip, having the “?” balloon coming from Foxo’s signature. The unseen presence of the artist.

Thank you. Didn’t notice it until you pointed it out.

1) GIVE TILL IT FEELS GOOD: The march of dimes needs you, even Bozo convinces a robber to give!

2) HAND TO HAND FISHING: Bozo goes down in a diving suit with oxygen pump where he cleans up on fishing by hand!

3) SnoW FUN: Bozann searching for Bozo and finds him sledding with the children

Great. Looks like comments on today’s Bozo might achieve a new high. Must be the full moon.

2. Here, fishy, fishy, fishy!
