Bozo by Foxo Reardon for March 05, 2022

1 Now he goes out under the streetlight to look for the collar button. It might not be there, but at least it’s better lit.

2 Should have hit the sheriff with the fish.(It might work in Finland)

3 Suspicious cop decides to tail Bozo and find out what he’s up to. Success! Boy, does he find out!

Having lived in a 1948 circa house most of my life I can state that most of the rooms had few outlets.

1. A bit short in reach, Bozo.

2. A bit violation of law, Bozo.

3. A bit late for April Fools, Bozo.

…

But it never disappointing, not even a bit. It always a fun time with Bozo. A big thumbs up, big applause, and three cheers for marvellous master FoXo’s magnificent masterpiece, the pleasant picturesque pantomime, the ever entertaining ever energetic evergreen entertainer BOZO!

The dot on the roof in panel 2 is an umbrella ☔

1. Keep your electric light on me Bozo,

Put your candle to my head

Keep your cigar face close to me now

Freak out in an outage daydream oh yeah…

…

2. Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

I can’t stop this feeling

Deep inside of me

Sheriff you just don’t realize

What you do to me

When you hold me

In your arms so tight

You let me know

That things ain’t alright

Aaah-aaaahaaa-ahaah!

I’m hooked on a feeling

And I’m high on believing

That you’re arresting meee…

…

3. Clue number one was when you put ladder on floor

Clue number two was the look that you wore

And that’s when I knew, it was a pretty bad sign

That something’d go wrong up on house number nine

Well it’s a long way up and you won’t come down tonight

Well it may be wrong but Bozo it sure ain’t right

And the moon is out and the stars are bright

And whatever comes that paint ain’t alright

’Cause tonight you will be mine, locked up in cell number nine

And there ain’t no paints in that cell where you’ll be

And you can’t go back but you’re here with me

Yeah, the weather is really fine, outside cell number nine…

1) In brightest day, in darkest night, whoops a cufflink escaped my sight.. 2) A couple of prize catches, 3) Okay Bozo that was uncalled for.

“One thing about films is that when you make them they’re lasting, they’re around forever. I just hope I can make a lot of films I’m very proud of and that thirty years from now somebody’ll come to me and say, ‘Gee, I just saw “Star Wars” and I think it’s the greatest movie ever made,’ or something like that. That’s the kind of satisfaction you get from this business: you’re involved in the cre­ation of something. If it works well it lasts for many, many years. It’s always with you.” — Alan Ladd, Jr. from a 1982 interview for Starlog

What producer Alan Ladd, Jr , producer, film maker and recently deceased, says here can also be applied to classic comic strips like “Bozo.” They will be and should be around forever.

1. I can relate to Bozo on this, I’m in the dark a lot myself.

2. The big one that got away, the hard way!

3. It’s my opinion the cop followed Bozo up the ladder (based on the angle of the background lines). The cop climbing the ladder at the same time as Bozo caused Bozo to have an “accident”.

Smile, Bozo—and get a print you can frame. You can still brag about that one.

1) SHORT CORD: Bozo has one lamp and has to bring it over to a dark part of the room and unplugs it by accident!

2) OH FISHING: Bozo catches a whopper in a “no fishing” zone and is nabbed by the local sheriff. Bozo, the huge fish and the sheriff poses for it.

3) PAINT RAIN: Bozo is being chased again by the beat cop so he climbs up a ladder and dumps a paint can on the officer!

1. Bozo will need a night light. 2. “Caught an annoying Bozo!” 3. Can’t whitewash crime, you goofball!
