I’ve been thinking about the clothing chosen by Foxo Reardon for his cast of characters.
The cops, crooks, wealthy people, hobos, hunters, etc. (and the background people) are all instantly identifiable with no need for dialog or captions. Bozann and the other beautiful young women are dressed in the height of 1940’s chic. Fuzzy, the umbrella guy, has the tight jacket, baggy pants, derby, and stance with his feet pointed sideways that is reminiscent of Charlie Chaplin. Finally, our hero, Bozo. His striped shirt and solid color pants make me think of French Apache dancers — tough lower-class guys who are always in the company of beautiful girls. Any other ideas?
1) The elusive and mysterious umbrella man knocks on the upper part of a 2 part door. It is a statuesque woman who angered slams the top door. However Bozo opens the bottom door and is happy to see him.
2) Conundrum one-for-the-day. Put the books into the box on the top shelf of the closet. But Bozo uses the books to reach the box then puts the books in the box and now can’t reach the top! What is a short powerful man to do?
(Tape the box shut and toss it by hand up there Bozo.)
3) Blustery Day: Bozo’s derby is taken by the wind to land on a tall branch. Bozo gets up there and just as he reaches it the wind snatches it away again.
In Greek mythology and Roman mythology, a harpy (plural harpies, Ancient Greek: ἅρπυια, harpyia, [hárpyi̯a]; Latin: harpȳia) is a half-human and half-bird personification of storm winds. They feature in Homeric poems.Wikipedia

3 – Mary Poppins may be coming with the change in the wind, ask her for some help on her way down?
Or perhaps Mister Binnacle will shoot it out of the air?

1. Knock! Knock!
Who’s there?
It’s the Umbrella Guy!
2. Books can sometimes be a ladder to success.
3. An ill wind can be an evill wind.

1 Umbrella Guy making inquiries as to what happened to January. He don’t remember a thing after he left the party. But Bozann sure does.
2 Try using the golf clubs as stilts.
3 Umbrella Guy signals surrender.

Oh drat. Just realized that the 29th falls on a Sunday so no Leap Year comic for this year (48).
