Bozo by Foxo Reardon for October 01, 2022

1. That’s how it happens all the “time”

First it’s "Watcha think ya doin’ here?!

Then it’s “Watch it or I’ll beat ya quite severe”

Meanwhile the “Watchman” our genious pantomime

Sells your belongings on the run

Yeah…fists fly while you’re having fun!

2. Bozo’s is always at your “disposal”, guys

It’s BIN a laugh

CAN’t get enough

Of the pic how trash flies…

3. I ask myself Hey, what’s your game?

Pants on the loose I saw

Tell me does that mean the same

Like: the game ended in a “draw”?

1. Bozo not waste no time in encashing opportunity.

2. Bozo wastes waste bin in trash though.

3. Well, me hope Uncle Benny buys pants too, thinks Bozo.

…

For those who come in late, BOZO is wonderful wordless wonders and timeless classics by the less known but tremendously talented FoXo Reardon who’s a splendidly skilled cartoonist and a master of perspective artwork.

Just take your time, relax, and enjoy every panel of BOZO, me friends, for you can feel the three dimensional depths in each scene.

And BOZO a true pantomime, a true epitome of picture speaking thousand words, for FoXo never needed his characters to utter a single word ever, but tells his funny tales through the power of awesome artwork alone.

These fabulous fun funnies always bring me great joy and sheer cheer.

But despite being a great classic of great creative calibre, neither BOZO nor FoXo are much known or remembered these days.

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

…

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

1 Bozo given a watch for safekeeping, and where could be safer to keep it than Uncle Bennie’s?

2 Bozo demonstrates just how efficient he can be. All the trash gone in jig time.

3 Looks like Bozo is left holding the bag.

3 I wonder if that was one of those early televised games.

This TIME he’s got it all wrong…

All Garbage in, all garbage out

Left holding the bag-gy pants!

1) Hold my watch, and whatever you do, don’t take it to Uncle Benny!

2) Hope the office will spring for a new garbage can!

3) Wonder if there’s a full moon on the field?

1. Pawned

2. Pitched

3. Dishabille

1. It’s about time Bozo watched what he was doing.

2. Bozo got trashed.

3. Well, at least Bozo isn’t at the bottom of a pile.

Watch this! What about this? What’s this? That runner must have been a real tight end.

Fuzzy is going out of town in the first strip. That’s why he’s not in the other two. :-)

1) Thank you.

2) Excessive zeal or hurry to finish the job?

3) Way to escape!

The guy in the black hat looks like a Dick Tracy villian.

2. Garbage in, garbage out. :)

From the bottom up: Defense, Offense, A Fence.

1) Sometimes you’re the king, sometimes you’re just a pawn

2) That’s what you get for talking trash

3) Was that an end around or a drawer play?

1) PICK A SIDE: Bozo comes across a confrontation, one-man hands him an expensive watch to mind while they fight. Not expecting survivors, he goes to pawn it!

2) TRASH TO TRASH: Bozo during his time as office cleaner one of the bosses demands his trash can dumped. So, he does can and all!

3) PANTS SANS ASKANCE: Football time and Bozo goes after the ball runner and grabs him tight but is thwarted when the runner slips right out of them!

MISSED reminds me of Auburn University Legend Terry Henley. Even though Terry made fun of his football career, he played not only college but pro football. Terry would talk about when Coach Ralph “Shug” Jordan decided on running backs to wear the “Tearaway Jerseys.” Terry asked Coach Jordan why he did not have his number on a tearaway jersey. He said Coach laughed and said “Son I want it on FAST RUNNING BACKS, so when the opposing player gets close all he gets is a piece of jersey, in your case that defender can get not only your jersey number, he can get your address too!” I heard Terry tell the story so many times, changing the reason he never got the jersey, always with that self-poking fun at himself. Forgive me for the story, but I think Terry would have been a big BOZO Fan.
