Bozo by Foxo Reardon for April 02, 2022

1 Drat those squeaky shoes. Right Bozo?

2 Bozo needs to soften them up before trying to eat them apples.

3 Out of work Bozos are likely to time on their hands as well as bricks. Best try again.

On tiptoes through the “quiet zone”

Now no one hears who really won

Picking apples, one two three

And each one, dear cop, is for thee

You ACME-guys, three times I said before

This dude’s right for your “Coyote equipment store”

1 – I’m hearing the sound effect from “The Flintstones”, when Fred gets his foot-powered car going.

1. Shhh… Be vevvy vevvy qviet. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.

2. Here’s some free apples for you, ol’ pals!

3. Don’t be a lazy bum and sit on yer bum. Get back in there and gets a job!

…

These dialogue-less delights are such a visual treat. These best drawn best funnies being a big smile to me face every day. So of course once again a big thumbs up, a big applause, and three cheers for the marvellous master cartoonist, the truly talented FoXo’s magnificent masterpiece, the most pleasant picturesque pantomime, the ever entertaining ever energetic evergreen entertainer BOZO — the epitome of a picture speaks a thousand words, where each frame is a spendidly drawn delightful drawings that bring a complete cartoon world to life.

In and Out — “Bozo in, Bozo out”

Polite. Generous. Flexible. I wonder what ever happened to the quiet hospital zone areas. I mean really, have you heard an ambulance? …sheesh

1) It’s why tennis shoes were invented. 2) Bozo gets himself a bushel of trouble. 3) No soft shoe for Bozo this time.

Running from them, throwing at them, kicking them, and being kicked, Bozo and the cops sure have a strange relationship. Maybe it’s a reflection of the days when the cops walked a beat and we knew them better. But, aside from Bozo, we all might have gotten along with them better then. Maybe . . . . . we should go back to that time.

OK, somebody explain what a Number 6 or Number 8 is. I missed that biology lesson.

1. Bozo and the cop doing the old soft shoe.

2. How do you like them apples!

3. Bozo says, “Make up my mind”!

What I like about the second one is it implies that Bozo is rejecting perfectly good ripe apples in favour of the unripened green apples, solely so he can chuck them at the cops.

1) TREAD THE LAW CAREFULLY: Bozo on the run from his beat cop reach a hospital zone and instead of stopping they remove their shoes and in pure comic fashion continue the chase!

2) FRUIT OF THE TREE: While collecting apples Bozo separates the bad ones to throw at other police! He can throw 2 curve balls at once!

3) WHICH WAY IS OUT?: Bozo is kicked out of the ACME company. The cop kicks him back in!

Reminds me of a Get Smart episode when Max was having a running gun battle with an agent of KAOS. When they entered a public library Max attached a silencer to his gun and silently signaled to the KAOS agent to do the same. Of course Bozo did it first. Buck Henry may have been inspired by today’s cartoon.
