Fridays is never cry days with Fabulous FoXo’s Brilliant BOZO which always bring smiles and happiness to all.

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!

…

& 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

1. Bozo, he is hard at work. Finds a restful way to shirk.

2. Doused on the spot. Trunk in a knot.

3. Fire hydrant not discreet. Bozo parks out in the street.

1 Bozo takes leaning on his shovel to new heights. (Take This Job And Shove It — Johnnie Paycheck)

2 Knots to you, ya little squirt. (Water Boy — Odetta)

3 Bozo knows better, but can’t resist razzing the cop. (She Drives Me Crazy — Fine Young Cannibals)

1 – *And he’s getting time-and-a-half!

1/ Going to work? Not today for sure!

2/ Who’s laughing now, Dumbo?

3/ It’s legal now, I measured it!

Fuzzy appears in all three today !

“Water boy” – Bozo is a pachyderm plumber .

1. Fooled em all. 2. Knot knot. 3. Park Street.

1) Labor Day, Shmabor Day, what a dumb day. To hire some goof, then send him away. To celebrate work by snoozing all day. (Paraphrase of a Garfield strip circa 1978)

2) Bozo lets the elephant know he didn’t need a bath yet.

3) There, I parked ten feet away from the hydrant. Now make sure my car doesn’t get dented.

The words below are copied and pasted from yesterday. My apologies for the repetition, but I want to reach all Bozo followers who might have missed and might be interested:

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.”

1) But! but! but! The policeman IS working!

2) But Bozo is not in the mood.

3) But the case next to the fire hydrant is not at 10 feet…

Lunch break….zzzzzzzz

Looks like Dumbo is tied up at the moment….

I’ll be in there should you need me….

LABOR DAY- Ah the labor of finding a good place to rest. WATER BOY-BOZO became not only Water Boy, but also Elephant Trainer. COMPROMISE- Don’t block Fire Hydrant….Block Traffic…it is the Big City. (I found Fuzzy 3 times…I remember years ago we all acted as if that was a prize.)
