Bozo by Foxo Reardon for September 04, 2023

1. I’m a Coal Man, I’m a Coal Man, Play it Steve! (apologies to Sam & Dave).

2. She who laughs last, laughs the best.

3. You need to see correctly when reading the latest Umbrella Guy magazine.

1) Have fun, while you’re at it. ☺ – Hi, Fuzzy ☂️❤️

2) You deserved that, Bozo ☺ – Is Fuzzy ☂️❤️ babysitting? After raising Puddin, he’s definitely experienced ☺

3) Bozo never cease to puzzle me. ☺

I wear glasses, and occasionally I’ll go so long between cleanings they turn the handkerchief squirted with lens cleaner dark grey. Bozo is using a knife to clean his glasses much the same way as you scrap the burnt off the toast.

1. Why Bozo, not you has fun on this ride?

2. She who laughs last laughs longest.

3. Ah a rare Umbrella Guy Comics book. If only we had a complete BOZO comics book too.

…

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!

Fabulous FoXo may be unfortunately unsung these days but it not make him any less fabulous.

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!

…

& 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!

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

1 Bozo decides to unload everything. (16 Tons — Tennessee Ernie Ford)

2 Bozo’s all wet and rightfully so. (It’s Raining Again — Supertramp)

3 Bozo found a pair of glasses somewhere and then found he needed to adjust the prescription with a hammer. Now he’s looking sharp. (Centerfold — J. Giles Band)

[1] Yep, in 1947 we were still getting coal deliveries to the basement through the a coal chute. What a dirty, messy way to get heat! (At least I was too young to have to deal with it.)

[2] Maybe the middle of the street isn’t the best place to be.

[3] Wrong prescription? Bozo prefers no lenses in his glasses.

1. Bozo gets cute. Oh, shoot! Down the chute.

2. Gorgeous gets wet. Bozo laughs loud. Bozo gets soaked! No longer proud.

3. For spectacles he feels derision. Break out glass for clearer vision.

1. Coal chute slide

2. Last laugh

3. Corrected lenses

Whole load of coal. Splashy come back. Four eyes, no glasses. I got Lazic a long time ago and I haven’t regretted it yet, but I find I actually need sunglasses these days.

1) Workin’ in the coal truck, goin’ on down down. Workin’ in the coal truck, Oops, about to slip down! (Working in the Coal Mine – Lee Dorsey)

2) Not quite as funny when you get splashed, eh, Bozo?

3) Prescription glasses must’ve been too strong.

COAL MAN=Looks like Ole Buttons is making sure Bozo gets this job done fast, fast enough that Bozo slides down the hole. BIG SPLASH- He or She who laughs last, laughs at the one who is all wet. BRIGHT EYES-Bozo gets rid of the lens, which he probably just needed to wash them.

1) Working in a Coal Mine – Devo 2) Laughing – The Guess Who 3) Double Vision – Foreigner

All great comments, as usual!

Uh oooh! Be careful not to create a spark, Bozo!

Never snicker at one’s misfortune…(tee hee hee)

Seeing is believing….

#1, OH, Chute!

Mr. Umbrella Guy/Fuzzy: He is in the second strip; the second panel, and he seems to be pushing a baby carriage. Is there something he hasn’t told us?
