For those who come in late, these fabulous fun funnies was envisioned and executed so beautifully and 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!

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 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 again to Micheal Reardon for bringing BOZO back for us all!

Bozo was the original pantomime comic strip, a fact never disputed. Later it was promoted as such by the syndicate that accepted it, that is, the Chicago Sun-Times. The oldest documented mention of the generic word, “bozo” was, as I learned by my personal contact with the etymology editor at Merriam-Webster, in a Collier’s magazine story in 1920. In that magazine story the word was used once by a boxing manager to describe an opposition prize fight as “the other bozo.” Foxo Reardon’s Bozo was the first fictional and the first documented character to have that name. It appeared decades before Bozo the Clown, a character created in 1946, a year after Foxo Reardon’s Bozo became syndicated. Foxo, in fact, took a word that was practically unknown at the time and transformed it into a household word.

(The above words are taken from my book, “Whistling Down the Halls -The Times and Cartoons of America’s Original Pantomime Comic Strip Artist.” The 260 page book, with some 800 cartoons including some 500 syndicated Bozo strips, by Foxo Reardon, is available over the Internet from Walmart, Books A Million, Barnes and Nobel, Amazon, Bear Manor Media, its publisher, and other sites.)

For a comprehensive look at the strip and its creator, please do a search on “Bozo by Foxo” on “The Daily Cartoonist” website.‘’’ Michael Reardon, son of the cartoonist and the producer of Bozo on GoComics.

1) Dirty Water – The Standells 2) Career Opportunities – The Clash 3) Dizzy – Tommy Roe

Mr. Umbrella Dude: He is only in the second panel in the second strip. He appeared to be levitating. He just can’t give up on the idea that he can fly.

1. Bozo’s idea goes swimmingly.

3. Bozo is about to lose his head.
