Bozo by Foxo Reardon for April 17, 2023

Seat belts? Never heard of them!

1 Bozo has to make a tough judgement call, but picks a real beauty. (Did You Ever Have To Make Up Your Mind—The Loving Spoonful)

2 Oh good. Bozo was afraid he’d have to go back to the dentist. (Once Bitten, Twice Shy—Great White)

3 Back then, might be cheaper than a tow truck at that. (Transfusion—Nervous Norvus)

1) Is that a compliment or an insult? ☺ I love Fuzzy shown twice, and the addition to his umbrella. I bet the Lady with the flower pot hat is there somewhere among the crowd ❣️

2) Better a finger than a tooth ⭐

3) Sturdy Bozo.

∙•1•∙ I wonder if Bozo is reflecting Foxo’s feelings about cops.

∙•2•∙ And that’s why corncob handles were invented!

∙•3•∙ I doubt that the hospital will admit that patient!

The Wisconsin born Nash Motors became the first company to offer seatbelts in 1949.

Around the time of this comic strip my uncle bought a new car. It was one of the first to have a new safety feature: A padded dashboard, because of the head trauma occurring in so many accidents before seatbelts. The padding was only a thin vinyl covering on top of the original painted steel dashboard. Even at my young age I wondered if it was enough to be effective.

1. Lawfully funny.

2. It so good you’d eats your own finger.

3. Oh doc. Please helps me car. Save him!

…

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!

Gasp! Bozo just made a bad situation worse…I feel another chase coming on…

Bozo forgot to stop at the end of the cob…ouch!

Aaaacckk! The paramedic is not into the mechanics of a car…What a revolting development this turned out to be!

1. Humor in uniform (Apologies to Reader’s Digest)

2. Devoured dactyl.

3. Crash cart?

1) Is Fuzzy flying a balloon of his face atop his umbrella?

2) Corn on the cob is finger bitin’ good!

3) I’m OK, doc, but get my car to the nearest body shop, STAT!

1. Bozo picked the scariest costume.

2. Slow down Bozo, don’t want to lose a finger.

3. Hurry guys, maybe we can save her!

The Winner is The Winner.

1) Busted – Ray Charles 2) Hunger Strike – Temple of the Dog 3) Accidents Will Happen – Elvis Costello

1) Not sure about Bozo’s motivation — antagonize the cop? Flatter him by giving him First Prize, regardless of the underlying zinger? Either way, I wouldn’t have done it.

2) This is why my mother always had us use corn holders (those pointy things you stick in the ends of the corn cob). Oh, yeah, it was also neater.

3) I wish him luck, finding someone at the hospital to treat his car. More importantly, if he came through that impact with no injuries, he must lead a charmed life.

1) Mistaken identity

2) Finger biting good! (I personally bite my tongue or lip rather than my finders)

3) And this is how towing trucks were invented!

1) MOST AUTHENTIC COSTUME: Bozo officiating at a masquerade ball on costumes the authentic police officer gets the coveted first prize trophy!

2) HUNGRY: Bozo is so ravenous in eating his corn-on-the-cob he bites his own finger!

3) CAR EMERGENCY: A terrible crash, Bozo moves to help. When the ambulance arrives, he uses his superhuman strength to load the totaled car into it. The driver is okay!

All three of these are extra special good today! :)

#2, interference—-is an EXTREME CLOSE UP, AHHH!!! (Wayne’s world)
