It always a great pleasure to read these good ol’ best drawn best funnies.

The most pleasant picturesque pantomime ever, a most magnificent masterpiece by the marvellous master cartoonist FoXo Reardon, these wonderful wordless wonders are undoubtedly unparalleled in comics.

Drawn with fantastic finesse and splendid skills by the master cartoonist FoXo, BOZO is an epitome of a picture speaks a thousand words! And BOZO does so in such a beautiful and fun way!

So yes of course a big thumbs up, big applause, and three cheers once again for the ever entertaining ever energetic ever excellent evergreen entertainer BOZO!

BOZO never fails to bring splendid joy and sheer cheer to me.

Spread the word, friends so that BOZO can spread more joy and cheer to more!

Medic. Match. Move. With so many people thinking that skiing is about broken bones, I’m amazed they haven’t made some move to require helmets and/or make it illegal. I mean it’s fun and hazardous so it can’t be legal can it.

1. At least Bozo found a use for that broken ski.

2. That bus is no match for Bozo.

3. More importantly, Bozo lost his hat.

The bus scene reminds me of one of my favorite Roscoe Arbuckle takes, where he’s rolling a cigarette with one hand while the train goes by, then he lights his match on the train and casually grabs the bar on the last car that lets him swing up and in. Such apparently effortless mastery.

“Easy Come, Easy Go.”

1) SKI ACCIDENT: Bozo has a snow ski accident and turns the broken ski into a makeshift splint for his arm!

2) A HELPFUL HAND: Bozo calling over a bus to a stop just to strike his match to light his cigar!

3) 3rd PARTY STEAL: Bozo helps a boy build his snow man; a second boy helps too then when done the naughty boy takes it away on his sled!

Fuzzy fell on the snow just a few moments before Bozo. :-)

⓵ Been there, almost did that.

⓶ That’s what the Bus Stop sign was for.

⓷ Snowman stolen on a sled?

1. Bozo broke his arm and the skis.

2. Dang it, Bozo! You could’ve used a Zippo.

3. “That old guy let the bully take my snowman!”

I think that the drawing of Bozo shown ass-over-teakettle in the third panel of strip number one is brilliant artwork!

The geometries are exquisite!
