1. Bozo learns the hard way not to throws away Lucky charms he find
2. For once, I thought the food thief was umbrella guy and we finally sees his face. But I was wrong. Umbrella guy’s in the background of second panel.
3. Bozo, the most wanted player.
In the second one, the restaurant scene is beautifully depicted in a realistic three dimensional perspective and depths, with folks eating in tables in the background.
In the third one, where bozo is running in front of other players running behind him which again has a three d perspective. The cop’s face which is closer to the audience, and then bozo running behind and players further behind. Even Bozo running outta the exit is in 3D. The best one’s the very last panel, like R’ley points out. What a perspective!
And taking the first one last, even though the first strip has Bozo and the tramp stating side by side and are both facing the audience, there’s still background and foreground elements in that one too which depicts three dimensional depths. For example, the wall behind em, the road behind that, the umbrella guy running on the road, the wall behind him, and then the cityscape in background of em all.
Even for such a scene, the master cartoonist Foxo Reardon ensures that there’s a perspective to that too with background details. He could’ve taken the easy way like most cartoonists and just draw a wall behind them instead of all those background elements, but he goes for the detailed perspective again, even in this case.
Foxo Reardon was truly a skilled cartoonist, and he’s one of the very best cartoonists, in my opinion. Not only does he do good funnies without a single word uttered, but he also takes care that the visuals are great too.
Bozo is not only undoubtedly excellent cartoons which completely rely on the power of artwork alone to convey the funny to the audience, but the cartoonist Foxo Reardon also puts in the effort that it looks good to the readers too.
Variations on a theme: I like the way Bozo, or Foxo, reuses the same idea in different ways. Today Bozo discards a worthless lucky charm and misses finding a discarded five dollar bill. Now jump back to October 30, 1952 and see how Bozo tries to retrieve a lost coin from a storm grate and ends up finding a lost fiver. Foxo often reimagines a scene without making it seem repetitive. Finding those gems adds to the fun of reading Bozo.
2. The soup thief might have been foiled if Bozo had stuck his thumb in the bowl and kept it there. If it’s good enough for the waiter to do it, …
3. Perhaps if Bozo hadn’t thrown so many bricks and horseshoes at the cops on the beat they wouldn’t be so quick to give chase. And he didn’t even stick around to celebrate the touchdown!

I remember seeing those watch your hat and coat signs when I was a kid. They never made sense to me at the time.

1 The things people throw away! That fiver looks barely rumpled.
2 And the next time he looked, the hat was gone.
3 It would have been okay except Bozo’s team wasn’t playing that day.

I don’t want to cut Gent’s grass, but I love that front-on perspective in the very last panel.

Bozo just didn’t want to go through it with that leprechaun again.

Bozo’s doing the Keaton Run, from FOOTBALL to COPS.

1. He tossed his lucky charm, the bum got charmed by his luck.
2. Watch your hat and coat, … and maybe your food.
3. The coach of Bozo’s team threw the review flag, illegal use of cops.

1) Bozo wasn’t charmed or lucky.
Night-Gaunt49[Bozo is Boffo] over 3 years ago
1) A “lucky charm” thrown away benefits some other guy.
2) Bozo watches his hat and loses his soup.
3) Lead football player but a cop spots him and he runs out the exit and into the street followed by some angry cops still clutching the ball!
