Bozo by Foxo Reardon for February 22, 2022

1 Looks like Bozo faded in the stretch.

2 Come on Bozo, at least use the ashtray. You can’t even claim it’s good for the carpet.

3 Looks like the next shift ran late at his other job.

2. While it might be possible that smoking was allowed in libraries in 1951, I know smoking was allowed in work places up to the late ’80’s, it would be considered rude not to use an asktray.

1. Enough running. Now we takes the bus to the station.

2. You want this? Here, haves one.

3. What took ya so long? You shoulda been here an hour ago.

…

It’s no easy job to tell a tale or make a gag with only pictures and no speech. And to do it with such skilled artwork with depths and perspectives, a great work art indeed. Art in its purest form, where pictures speak thousand words. Such a joy to read these lovely Bozo comics.

A big thumbs up, a big applause, and three cheers of course, for the marvellous master cartoonist FoXo’s magnificent masterpiece, the most pleasant picturesque pantomime, the ever entertaining evergreen energetic entertainer BOZO!

Ha! “Seat’s taken” is awesome, with just a little tease of the joke in the third panel.

“Have a cigar” gives definite “Did you bring enough for everyone” vibes at a school.

“Should a gentleman offer a Tiparillo to a librarian?” (1967-68)

1. Either Bozo’s out of shape or the police fatty found a Segway…

2. Have a Cigar? Either Bozo is a Pink Floyd-fan or a parodist of Billy Clinton

3. Either this is funny or… well, even more funny

1) Bozo has the disadvantage of having short legs, run slower.

2) Sorry, I did not see any ashtray, here for the trouble!

3) Sorry, this is my break! Wait here for me when I come back. (Hello Police? I want to report a burglar…)

1) Fuzzy’s umbrella is useful for hopping off the cars, used as a parachute, when he car surfs.

1) Bozo raced the law and the law won. 2) What! She heard the ashes fall? She IS a good librarian. 3) Shift change.

1. First come, first served. You snooze, you lose.

2. It’s okay, they,re quiet ashes.

3. It’s your turn to watch the paper.

↪¹ The cop not only beat you, but he’s riding for free!

↪² If they wanted you to use the ashtray they should have put it on the other side of the chair.

↪³ You’re late. I’m supposed to be on my break!

Have a Cigar

Should a gentleman offer a Tiparillo to a lady?

They always cop the empty seat.

1) From the beat to the seat

2) Ash and ye shall receive

3) The early burg’ gets his turn

1) Bumped off! And this is why you don’t ride on cars, kids.

2) Still in traction

3) Still in… wait a minute, does Fuzzy moonlight as a prowler? Say it ain’t so!

1) GOT YEAH: While escaping the beat cop Bozo gets on a bus just to find his seat taken by the cop!

2) THOUGHTLESS ACTION: In the library Bozo is reading and not using an ashtray. The librarian scolds him for it!

3) TRADE OFF: Bozo the night watchman is visited by a masked criminal. He is so tired of it he just lets the crook take Bozo’s place! Bozo leaves.

SEATS TAKEN- Oliver Hardy joined the Police, Naw Ollie cannot run that fast. HAVE A CIGAR- Hey Toots, I was not talking, Have a cigar! A GOOD TURN- Look Buddy, your late by my watch, I gotta date with the librarian.

1. “You’re going downtown, Bozo! Seat’s taken, tho.” 2. No smoking in the library! 3. Never let a thief do a night watchman’s job.
