Bozo by Foxo Reardon for November 07, 2021

1 Saves wear and tear on the tire.

2 Go ahead lady, he’s a real bargain.

3 The things people throw away. You could get three bucks for him at Uncle Bennie’s.

1. Remember what the foreman said:“Use your head. Use your head. Use your head”

2. $ 2.98?!? Bozo, don’t ya know you’re priceless?

3. If I only had a Dollar each time that happened to me… I could shop at Uncle Benny’s

1. Ah, the delicate work-life balance.

2. Poor Bozo sells himself.

3. No litter no loiter.

…

And as always, a big thumbs up and a big applause for these wonderfully drawn funny comics which is Foxo’s marvellous masterpiece, a picturesque pantomime called BOZO!

Bozo is a hod-head.

Looks to me like Bozo’s going through a difficult time in his life, from $2 to detritus in just one day.

He’s suffering from detritis.

1) Bozo hits the bricks. 2) Pawn job. 3) Your morning headlines.

Well, if no one wants to buy your stuff, you might have to sell yourself shorty.

Groundskeeper in #3 is U.G.’s twin brother, if not he himself sans umbrella.

1. Bozo’s arms got tired.

2. It’s a shame that what appears to be a single jacket is worth more than one original Bozo.

3. When the boss tells you to pick up all the trash.

3 – The trash man is kind enough to plaster the US Savings Bond poster to his cart, but I can’t quite make out the other poster below it.. “Be a Modern Work Win!” is as best I can make it out.

The 1949 Savings Bond campaign’s slogan was “Automatic Saving is Sure Saving”. Part of what was known as the ‘Payroll Savings Plan’ at the time.

Foxo, like a few cartoonists of the period, was kind enough to put a little reminder of the program in their strips every now and again.

1) Brick-à-Brac: Bozo hauling bricks in a wheel barro and sees a lady using her head and decides to mimic her and does so with the heavy bricks.

2) Hocking valuables: Down-on-his-luck Bozo tries to hock a ring but is refused. So he puts himself up for sale just out side.

3) Human Refuse: Bozo napping in the edge of the park using a news paper as a cover gets tossed in the rolling trash bin of the clean up man.

#¹ Bozo’s got a head for the job, but he might be a few bricks short.

#² Two dollars? Bozo’s a bargain at twice that!

#³ Bozo is always helpful and eager to contribute to the cleanup.

One of the things that most impressed me in India was the loads on people’s heads.

That comic was made in 1949. Why is that guy still selling war bonds 4 years after the war ended?
