Bozo by Foxo Reardon for March 15, 2022

1 Bozo loses concentration for a moment and changes out the wrong post. (Cerebral Palsy poster)

2 Every dog has his day.

3 Even Bozo.

Strip #3: Sittin’ on the dock of the bay, and… a Pelican delivers a dead fish! at sunset.

Just absolutely wonderful comics today. Bravo!

1. What happens? You looks a-pole-d.

2. Doggie charms to gets a free ride. And he didn’t even needs to use the old puppy eyes trick for it.

3. Pelican helps poor Bozo get fish. Sometimes help comes in unexpected ways.

…

And of course a big thumbs up, a big applause, and three cheers for the marvellous master cartoonist FoXo’s magnificent masterpiece, the most beautiful pleasant picturesque pantomime, the ever entertaining ever energetic evergreen entertainer BOZO!

Days are always cheerful with Bozo. Bozo never fails to cheer me up. The best drawn best funnies me has seen.

Changing Posts: Bozo has mad strength to single-handedly hold up a power pole with lines attached.

No dog allowed: I just hope Phydeaux knows which stop to get off the bus.

Fish story: I’ll say it is! That’s one you tell after stopping at the wharf and haggling with the fishermen over a whole one.

1) Bozo gets his wires crossed. 2) Where oh where has his little dog gone? 3) Air-mail special delivery.

1) The strongest man in the world at work.

2) Bozo would not let his dog by himself, but the dog? Man’s best friend they say?

3) Felt pity, so gave Bozo a big one.

1) Fuzzy, roof fiddler?

2) Peek-a-boo!

3) Man overboard!

Maybe you can’t but Peli can.

1) “With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound…”

2) “He picks up a bus and he throws it back down…”

3) “Nature points out the folly of men…”

I can picture Foxo going out at night to find out what the base of a utility pole should look like.

1. Oh, you meant those puny little poles.

2. Bus driver says, “You ain’t allowed on ya little troublemaker, but your dog is fine”.

3. Normally, when a bird drops something on me, it’s not a fish.

1) Bozo is christlike today

Facial expressions tell so much of the story, even a farmer, bus driver, happy dog, and a generous pelican.

#1: I learned, years ago, when I was installing my vertical antenna in the back yard; don’t dig the hole with a post hole digger, dig the hole with a garden claw, then remove the dirt with the post hole digger.

⓵ Bozo specializes in destruction rather than construction.

⓶ How much is that doggie in the bus window, Patti?

⓷ If Bozo can’t catch a fish, the pelican can, and you can’t Offenbach say that.

1) TOO MUCH CONCENTRATION: Bozo is helping a farmer setting his poles for fencing. Bozo sets his mind to getting those poles cut and set. The farmer tells him he can’t use that telephone pole!

2) THIS DOG’S ALLOWED: No dogs on buses, but his dog “?” gets on and makes a licking friend. Bozo is miffed he can’t get the dog off and so he is left off and the dog waves as he goes away!

3) TIMELY MIRACLES DO HAPPEN: A long fruitless day of fishing by Bozo looks like a bust. then miracle of miracles a huge bird, pelican drops off a large fish just for him!

1. “Dang it! I didn’t mean the telephone pole.”

2. “Hey! That dog didn’t pay his fare.”

3. “Ah! I should get that fish.”

If you need a post hole on the Sunday when the lumberyards are closed, you can usually find a donut shop open.

3 dozen donut holes = 1 post hole
