1. The mouse is glad Bozo needs new boots.

2. That kid is a real cut up.

You think stepping on a Lego® is painful?

1ˢᵗ Giving Bozo the boot!

2ⁿᵈ Not so funny after all.

3ʳᵈ Playing games with the cop.

1 Funny Bozo’s boot didn’t have a hole in it a minute ago. (These Boots Are Made For Walking — Nancy Sinatra)

2 Bozo likes his humor cutting edge. (Shave And A Haircut — Two Bits)

3 Bozo and Bozann ain’t taking no craps today, officer.(Red Rubber Ball — Cyrcle)

1. Exit stage trapdoor.

2. Yikes. Stop the kid!

3. Why hello officer. Such a lawly day today ain’t it.

…

And what else could makes your day more lovely is these lovely drawings of FoXo which bring alive the wonderful wordless world of BOZO!

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 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. Pair of big boots that match, except for escape hatch.

2. Bozo thinks it’s quite a gas. Straight edge kid? I’ll take a pass.

3. Cop don’t have the facts. ’Tis only ball and jacks.

Clever meece! Out one hole and into another.

Gasp!

Ball and Jacks were a favorite pass time back in the day!

1) These boots are made for escapin’!

2) Bozann’s probably worried what the kid’s parents are gonna think!

3) Afternoon, officer. Care to partake in a game of jacks?

“Exit” cracked me up !

Boot strap trap. Hair raising situation. Good clean crime. Does anyone know how to play jacks anymore? …or marbles? I don’t miss the old games, but I remember the time fondly.

EXIT- The mouse found not only a Hole In One, but a Hole In The Wall. LITTLE SHAVER- Ok, Bozo is not the best at baby sitting, this was a “CLOSE SHAVE!” SURPRISED- Ole Buttons thinks he has a gambling going on in the alley…with his blackjack he is ready to “WACK” only to find Bozzan and Bozo playing JACKS!

Liam Lynch was playing dice, but whatever.

I wonder who was the first cartoonist to use the “hat flying vertically off the head” trope to indicate amazement?

1) Float On – Modest Mouse 2) Razor Boy – Steely Dan 3) Games People Play – Alan Parsons Project

1. Sole hole

2. Precocious tyke

3. Dicey moves

Last strip: Baldy is climbing up the side of the building. Or is he being carried up by some magical power in his umbrella?

2. Saw a toddler with a large cleaver at a festival campground in Tibet.

1) SLIPPERY MICE: Bozo goes after a mouse that uses the boot with the hole to escape!

2) PRECOCIOUIS SHAVER: Bozann shocked that little Nipper can use a straight razor!

3) UNEXPECTED GAME: Click-click leads the flat-toot to Bozann playing jacks with Bozo!

No. 1: Surely there’s a “boots and cats” reference that can be made here.

Consensus… do you think the kid has actually cut his hair already or was he stopped in time?

No blood around so I’d say he hasn’t done it yet. I almost did that when I was a kid. Mom stopped me before I got too far

1. Those boots appear to be tall enough to be hip waders on Bozo. And large enough to keep his shoes on.

2. It is absolutely amazing how much more dangerous the home was only a few years ago. Oh, wait, it was decades ago. Then came… Lawn Darts!

3. I know I’m strange, but all I’m wondering about is… a wood barrel of rocks?
