Bozo by Foxo Reardon for July 25, 2023

1. I feel that I’ve been here before.

2. You’re lucky that I happened to be here to save you as you fell.

3. Bozann’s “friend” doesn’t understand the weight of his situation.

I wonder what happened to the strip for Monday.(Monday,Monday—The Mamas and the Papas)

1 This one rings a bell. (Deja Voodoo—.38 Special)

2 Bozann’s as mad as a wet hen but Bozo don’t mind. (Summer Nights—Grease)

3 Looks like the other guy is gonna drop the ball. (Ball Of Confusion—The Temptations)

1. Deja Vu. Ding-a-ling review.

2. Make a splash. Heroic dash. Bozann’s all wet. She’ll crown him yet.

3. Some playful catch. Dead weight to fetch.

1~ If that dog is still there tomorrow I’m calling the SPCA.

2~ Bozo is always going after the dame, and …

3~ Upping the game.

2. You are deep in hot water bud, I don’t think she’s one bit fooled.

Uh oooh! Bozo needs to buy her a new pair of shoes! Yikes!

Bozo will prove who can handle the ball better…..small but mighty!

Fuzzy’s there….he’s always there…watching!

1. Bozo take doggie’s bell-t again.

2. That Bozo. He such a shove-off.

3. Hows this for size, handsome.

…

For those who come in late, these fabulous fun funnies was envisioned and executed so beautifully and 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, yes of course many thanks to Micheal Reardon for bringing BOZO back for us all!

1. Puts Chuck Berry’s “My Ding-a-Ling” to mind.

2. Well, if you wear dressy heels to the beach… it’s just so tempting. Fortunately this was before always having a cell phone on your person.

3. It strikes me that there was a time when we were more ‘dressed up’ for the beach. Now, we are basically just walking around in unisex underwear.

The perennial question of every man . What’s a babe like her see in that sawed off runt ?

1) Bozo’s get a belt that jingle jangle jingles…(If they liked it once, they’ll love it twice)

2) Was Bozo still miffed at Bozann for walking under Fuzzy’s umbrella the other day?

3) Let’s see what kind of man you really are, Mac!

I would say “Nuttin’ much”

(1) I don’t want to question the wisdom of Bozo, but I do have a simple question: Why?

(2) Should we guess that he’s showing off for some other girl on the beach? Considering that he’s the one who pushed her in, she sure isn’t going to be impressed.

(3) Daffy Duck did something like this, when he was trying to impress a girl duck on the beach who was attracted to one of those muscle-bound “he-duck” types. As I recall, it didn’t work out too well for him (but then, nothing really ever did).

I’m intrigued by the way FoXo illustrates an idea (strip 3, panel 3) using the traditional comic strip light bulb over the head. He always shows the bulb pointing down (as if to be screwed into a ceiling fixture rather than a typical lamp). I can’t recall seeing it done like this in any strips other than Bozo, and yet, it makes more sense this way. The “idea” is hitting Bozo, not radiating away from him.

1) REPEAT

2) FAKE SAVE: Bozo pushes Bozann into the water then carries her out. Not one of his best moments.

3) HARD, HEAVY BALL: Bozann has eyes for tall, muscular Marvin. Bozo decides to get serious at this ball play, hauling out a real 50 pounder to toss at Marv. Look out Marvin!

HERO- Bozann seems to be “Showing her new swim suit, which like a lot does not want to get wet.” Bozo figures the way to stop her flirting is to dunk her and save her. HARD BALL= Bozann’s flirting has gotten her a tall, purty boy suitor, Bozo figures any old guy can play with a beach ball, but let’s try a 500 lb gym ball.

1) Bozo’s showing off his ding-a-ling again.

2) Sometimes, you have to make your own opportunities.

1. Jingle belt, Jingle belt , Jingle all…

2. Deep trouble

3. Startlement

you could have repeated the following comic instead The girl is much prettier than the doggie plus ……. you might have seen where the girl lost her shoes

1) Shaking the Tree – Peter Gabriel 2) My Hero – Foo Fighters 3) Heavy Metal – Don Felder

Had to go back three quarters of a century to find something worthy of praise? Or, as seems more likely, you were just being sarcastic?
