Bozo by Foxo Reardon for September 03, 2022

1 You sure you got the right kind of bait Bozo?

2 Looks like somebody’s had a hard day’s night. Good thing he’s only sleeping.

3 Swagger only gets you so far. Right Bozo?

1. How you like fishies for breakfast, kid?

2. Working part time as day watchman didn’t work well for thief.

3. Bozo such a giver. He just cane not stop himself from giving.

…

And yes of course another big thumbs up, big applause, and three cheers once again for the marvellous master cartoonist FoXo’s magnificent masterpiece, the most pleasant picturesque pantomime, the ever entertaining ever energetic ever excellent evergreen entertainer BOZO!

Even after so many years and decades has passed, BOZO still comes like a fresh fragrant breeze and brings great joy and sheer cheer.

But despite the splendid creative calibre, neither BOZO nor FoXo are much known or remembered these days.

Spread the word, friends, so that BOZO can spread more joy and cheer to more!

1. The weather’s fine to the river we go

You have to start young to become a pro

2. The burglar comes in in night’s deep

Comes in with a leap and creeps

Sees that there’s no precious things you keep

So instead he steals your sleep

3. Boz sees a poor frail guy and says “Hey”

“CANE I help you thru the day?”

One Born Every Minute is kind of sweet – the kid gets an outing into the fresh air and some stimulation, Bozo gets a fish maybe. Win/win.

1. Sweet 2.Stinker 3. Helpful

1) Fuzzy is reaching Bozo for a nice fishing afternoon

2) …

3) Bozo is kind. That’s all, Folks.

Baby basket. Naughty nap. Double tapper. I had a fish basket when I was a kid. I usually kept my fish on a stringer and all my hooks and stuff in the basket. Don’t see fishing baskets much these days.

1. Babysitter

2. "Nap"burgler

3. Compassionate

2. Bozo got robbed of a good night’s sleep. :)

I’ve seen these three before. Could it be?

Yes it could, on April 2nd, 1953.

(Before GoComics changed the dating scheme.)

Great strips as always. The titles always seem to have some wry comment on the strip but unless my brain is not woke up yet, I can’t connect the titles of #2 and #3 to the strips. Anyone want to help me out?

ONE BORN EVERY MINUTE- Bozo logic of teach your child to fish. MAGIC- Our Friendly Neighborhood Bandit is now into stealing the cover. TAKEN IN- Our Hero walks proudly semi in his own world, but cares for elders, children, and the downtrodden, a good example to live by. (But he do love the ladies!)

1. If Fuzzy falls in the forest, will there be a sound?

1) BABY STAY WITH ME: Bozo babysitting wants to go fly fishing and takes the baby with him using one hand to throw the fly!

2) SLEEPY HEAD: While asleep another member of the WCL (they look identical like clones) sneaks in then unaccountably curls asleep right next to Bozo in bed!

3) THE GOOD SAMARATIN: Bozo taking his brisk constitutional with can sees an ancient tottering along with just one cane. Bozo gifts his cane to him to help him walk along!

1. Watch the baby, Bozo!

2. “Get your own bed!”

3. A two for one special on canes.
