Bozo by Foxo Reardon for April 10, 2023

I suppose two out of three is a fair score.

1. I dunno how this game is played

But find all rules of fun obeyed…

2. Find a girl and have a ball

Some of us can have it all…

(BTW: I dunno how this game is played

But…well, as above there it was said!…)

3. End of the fun at second, oh no!

The last game must be called “Where’s Bozo?”

1 You want it so bad, then you’re gonna get it. (You Can’t Always Get What You Want—the Rolling Stones)

2 Bozo likes playing the field, if it weren’t for that dang ball. (Right Field—Peter, Paul. and Mary)

1) Bozo very proud of himself ⭐

2) Something considered nowadays not politically correct has been hidden? I think I can see the strip in the little gap between the other two. ☺

3) Bozo’s way to play is similar to Harley’s (Dan Thompson), but with Bozann as distraction in place of a beer can ☺

1• With a little offense and very little defense Bozo saves the day!

2• They say Love only counts in tennis but Bozo finds a way.

3• Nice double-header today.

Panel 3. Rained out?

For some reason I only see two panels. Football and baseball. Wonder why?

1. First down and goal.

2. Bozo trying for 1st base?

Bozo knows how to handle the brutes…hit and run! ☺️

Looks like Fuzzy is inbounds!

Sorry, be right back….ok…where were we?

1) In the days before facemasks, it was easy to give it on the chin to your opponent and then score the touchdown.

2) Hang on Bozann. I got it! I got it! Now to nail the runner and get back to talking to my girl!

Clearly, Bozo knew baseball, football and other sports some forty years before Bo Jackson did.

1. Ah, the old knock em out and score trick play.

2. I think baseball is interfering with Bozo’s love life.

Many think that if comedy isn’t new or modern that it is of diminished value. I think that the opposite is closer to the truth. Where have all the great comedians gone: Milton Berle, Jimmy Durante, George Gobel, Bob Hope, Flip Wilson, Jack Benny, Jerry Lewis, Red Skeleton, Jackie Gleason, and so many more? There were never greater comedians than they. The same can be said of the truly great classic cartoonists. Their work can’t and won’t be surpassed, no matter how modern or “new” be those that follow. The Golden Age of Cartooning, the ’30s, ’40s, and ’50s, was just that: golden.

(The above is an excerpt from my interview of July 27, 2021 with GoComics. The entire interview can be found on the GoComics Blog below, page 2.)

1. Bozo always such a super HIT player.

Me could never understood why on earth Americans call this FOOT Ball.

2. Bozo makes good use of all free time.

We still has Intermission between movies in Indian movies.

…

For those who come in late, these fabulous fun funnies was envisioned and executed so brilliantly by FoXo Reardon, a true master cartoonist who told his funny tales with his awesome artwork alone, without any of his characters in BOZO ever saying a single word.

An especially excellent epitome of pictures speaking thousand words, BOZO also the most pleasant picturesque pantomime where every panel is like a photograph of a three-dimensional cartoon world of realistic-looking depths and details. Such was his powerful perspective artwork which brought to life a lovely lively world of BOZO!

FoXo a rare combination of both sharp wits and artistic talents which is rarely seen together in the same cartoonist, a true master and professional cartoonist whose work quality speaks for itself and as you can see for yourself BOZO is pure gold coming from a golden era of cartooning! More about FoXo and BOZO in the About page.

So no wonder that these wonderful wordless wonders still bring great joy and sheer cheer to many even today.

But despite being a great classic of great 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 many many more!

…

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

And yes of course many thanks to Micheal Reardon for bringing BOZO back for us all!

2. I’m glad you made the play Bozo but those cigars can’t be helping your game.

RAZZALE-DAZZALE- Bozo The Sportsman, only he could pull off a play to knock the opposition out of the way for a Touchdown. INTERMISSION- Bozo The Sportsman does have a weakness for the Lovely Bozann, “Hang On Babe, Dis Play For YOU!”

1) Tough Enough – The Fabulous Thunderbirds 2) Centerfield – John Fogerty

1) Likely that’s against the rules, but you have to give him credit for his ingenuity.

2) I don’t know if they were using the term in 1946, but I’m impressed by his ability to multi-task.

Here are 2 fine examples of Bozo’s skills in baseball and football. Both his superspeed and superstrength come into play with his brilliant mind and showmanship instincts.Which we can thank the creator/writer/illustrator Foxo Reardon for giving it to us.

1) WHERE IS THE FOOTBALL: Bozo with the ball shows a tackler how hard it is to get the ball from him. Which hand is it? Is the pigskin in his ands or on your nose? Only Bozo wins for sure.

2) LOVE TO THROW OUT!; Bozo is near Bozann as he gets the ball and fires it to home plate while getting lovey-dovey with the gal of his dreams!
