Bozo by Foxo Reardon for March 20, 2023

1 And, having fulfilled his doormanly duties, Bozo smartly returns to his post. (Rainy Day Women #12 & 35—Bob Dylan)

2 Nice save, Bozo, even if you can’t keep it. A ritzy hotel lie that wouldn’t tolerate passing litterbugs. ( Putting On The Ritz—Taco)

3 Bozo puts on the dog and goes to the dentist. ( Hey Bulldog—The Beatles)

1) Fuzzy closed his umbrella as soon as he started raining (panel 4). ☁️☁️

2) Boss, can you look away for a moment? I’ll smoke it later!

3) Dr. Pullem… a name for the job! ☺

1. Bozo’s the doorman, he only handles doors.

1∾ Curb service. [only]

2∾ Return to owner, please!

3∾ Not what the doctor ordered!

1946, a year later and Fuzzy already lost his hair.

1) Please follow very closely!

2) Wait sir! You dropped this nice and barely started cigar!

3) This dog has probably tooth ache to bite all the time!

Well his job IS to open doors…that’s about the extent of it….LOLIs that Fuzzy walking with his umbrella closed, in the rain?

Now that Bozo’s boss saw him he had to returned the cigar….happens every time….☹️

Bozo need his canine teeth extracted, pronto! Dog gone it!

Woof! ☺️

1) Come on, Bozo, just because she’s a little bigger doesn’t mean you should leave her in the rain!

2) Sir, please do not litter your cigars in front of our establishment (plus I can’t smoke on duty)!

3) Hey Dr. Pullem, please extract this bulldog’s teeth from my hindquarters!

1. bumbershoot bungle

2. stogie returned

3. doggie dentition

She’s not going to tip him.

1. I ain’t got all day ma’am!

2. Mine! Er, I mean his!

3. Bozo wants to relieve his tooth discomfort.

1) The Rain Song – Led Zep 2) Have a Cigar – Pink Floyd 3) Once Bitten, Twice Shy – Ian Hunter

Great comments!

I know it’s a comics thing, but someone else’s cigar? Cigars get a bit messy at some point, even when it’s the one I’ve been smoking.

1. Well what’s the use, fatso, you gonna get wet anyways.

2. Here, sire. You dropeed your cigar.

3. Just what me needs to get this doggone thing off me butt!

….

And BOZO is just what you needs to turn your melancholically monotonous Mondays into marvellously merry Mondays!

For those who come in late, these fabulous fun funnies was envisioned and executed so brilliantly by FoXo Reardon, a true master cartoonist who told his funny tales with his awesome artwork alone, without any of his characters in BOZO ever saying a single word.

An especially excellent epitome of pictures speaking thousand words, BOZO also the most pleasant picturesque pantomime where every panel is like a photograph of a three-dimensional cartoon world of realistic-looking depths and details. Such was his powerful perspective artwork which brought to life a lovely lively world of BOZO!

FoXo a rare combination of both sharp wits and artistic talents which is rarely seen together in the same cartoonist, a true master and professional cartoonist whose work quality speaks for itself and as you can see for yourself BOZO is pure gold coming from a golden era of cartooning! More about FoXo and BOZO in the About page.

So no wonder that these wonderful wordless wonders still bring great joy and sheer cheer to many even today.

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 many many more!

…

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

And yes of course many thanks to Micheal Reardon for bringing BOZO back for us all!

1) UMBRELLA DILEMMA: Bozo as a hotel doorman during a rainstorm goes out to meet a matron umbrella in hand then returns minus the matron without the umbrella left in his wake!

2) CIGAR RETURN: Another rich person tosses a good cigar. Bozo’s supervisor scrutinizes him so he must try to hand it back. [The fellow doesn’t want it and Bozo does.]

3) TEETH REMOVAL: Sneaking through yards one of them has a guard bulldog who latches onto the seat of his pants and won’t let go all the way to a dentist’s off for jaw removal!

It’s a busy 2 days at the ‘Hotel Spritz’!

I keep thinking there must be a ‘Carlton, your friendly doorman’ joke here somewhere.
