Bozo by Foxo Reardon for November 30, 2023

1. At least Bozo didn’t let the cat out of the bag.

2. Maybe Bozo is trying to say that “it’s 5 o’clock somewhere”.

3. But is the safe alright?

[1] Puppy love, no harm done. But who’s outside the window?

[2] My watch is slow. Do you have any thin oil?

[3] Bozo is feeling safe, even enough to lend assistance to the weak!

1. Puppy happy that you is lets him sit on lap.

2. Tough times needs oiling to moves ahead.

3. Not worries. Bozo safe now.

…

What a tremendous talent that creates these splendid scenes which conveys the whole funnies all using facial expressions and body languages of characters without em saying even a single word ever.

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!

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

1. Secret treasure. Doggie pleasure.

2. Extensive lubrication. Past time for a vacation.

3. Bozo takes a heavy hit. Witness shall not stand for it.

1) Lucky Lady ☺❣️ – Fuzzy ☂️❤️ is riding the same bus… on the roof! ☺

2) Buddy, can you spare a drop? ☺

3) Not a “safe” rope! Bozo left a dent in the safe and an impression on the Lady. Hi, Fuzzy ☂️❤️

Am wondering what happened to Bozo strips Aug 30, Aug 31 & Sept 1, 1948, three of the best Bozo strips passed over and not published by GoComics, and none seemed to be politically incorrect.

A great many thanks for all Bozo followers who bought a copy of my book “Whistling Down the Halls, The Times and Cartoons of America’s Original Pantomime Comic Strip Artist.” The book is 260 pages and covers works of Foxo Reardon from the early 1920s thru 1955. Just a note here to say that the book, which contains some 800 cartoons, including some 500 syndicated Bozo strips, would make a great Christmas gift. The book is available over the Internet from many sites, including amazon, walmart, booksamillion, Barnes and Noble, Bearmanor Media and others. Just enter the name of the book “Whistling Down the Halls” and the name of Foxo Reardon

Below is a brief excerpt from the book:

“The source of this book of cartoons is works of my father, both original and copies of newspaper clippings that were saved by him and that have been in my possession for many decades. Most of the clippings have in the ensuring years become discolored. Much of that has been removed by computer enhancement. The great majority of clippings were too ragged to include as whole works. Those, nevertheless, will be kept on compact discs for safe keeping. All of the works in this collection have been previously published in the Richmond (Va) Times Dispatch or through syndication with the exception of "Puddin’ X, a strip created by my father in the early 1940s….

“Foxo Reardon’s life was devoted to making people laugh, to making people smile, to making life just a little easier for them as they went through the grind of their daily lives. He wanted to share to what degree he could that zest for life that was his, a zest that was outwardly manifested as he whistled down the halls of the newspaper building. And there is little doubt that wherever he is today, he is still whistling down the halls.”

3 – “Do you have brain damage, Bozo?”

“I don’t see any…”

1. Pouch pooch

2. Lubricant laugh

3. Dinged dome

Thank goodness Bozo does not patronize the Susquehanna Hat Company.

“In the bag” – Surprise , surprise , surprise ! LOL !

IN THE BAG-So that is where Poochie has been hiding. OILY BUSINESS- Not sure if I would let a train engineer oil my pocket watch, but Bozo can be thrifty, frugal, and CHEAP! HARD HEAD-SOFT HEART-Poor ole Bozo gets a safe dropped on his head and has to help ambulance employee load MS. Biggie Bottomin the Ambulance.

I’m happy as a pig in slop just to get any Bozo comics. Grateful indeed. And reruns are just fine as I get to read other comments which adds new outlook.1. Doggy in Love at first sight 2. Wrong weight oil Bozo. 3. Our Hero as the Good Samaritan.

2. A Steam Age Sidewalk Supervisor.

3. The walking wounded helping the infirm. ( Often similar to modern day living in general. )

1) The old lady didn’t realize Bozo was carrying a hot dog.

2) Excuse me, Casey, could you give my watch a little squirt to tone it down?

3) Luckily, Bozo only suffered a minor concussion, but is lucid enough to load the other old lady into the ambulance.

Was any safe ever successfully hoisted to an upper floor? Seems to have been a big problem back then.

A little lick never hurt anyone ..lol

So it will keep on ticking….

Good thing she fell the other way….

1) Gonna Buy Me a Dog – The Monkees 2) Peace Train – Cat Stevens 3) Everybody Hurts – R.E.M.
