Bozo by Foxo Reardon for May 23, 2024

1. Entitled dogs do not bury their own bones.

2. Bozo is such a cut up.

3. Bozo was working undercover.

⓵ Don’t close that hole too soon Bozo. Little FiFi will give you something else to bury in a minute!

⓶ Mistaken intentions Madam, I assure you.

⓷ They moved the engine to the rear for security.

1 Wouldn’t want to ruin the wee doggy’s pedicure now would you Bozo. (Dry Bones — trad.)

2 Makes you wonder why she was visiting, eh Bozo? (Run For Your Life — the Beatles)

3 Bozo breaks for lunch. (Stuff You Gotta Watch — Daisy Mae and her Hepcats)

2 – A common mistake, Bozo thought it was Bad, Bad Leroy Brown at the door. Everyone knows he carries a razor in his shoe. After all, you can’t go into a razor fight with a toothbrush in your hand.

1) Fuzzy ☂️❤️ parachuting with his old reliable – Bozo helping a dog that doesn’t know how to be doggish anymore ☺

2) The Lady’s overreaction was backed up by the Cop! – Fuzzy ☂️❤️ is happily running somewhere

3) Hidden treasure ☺ – Another example of FoXo’s love for details: he drew Fuzzy ☂️❤️ holding his umbrella with both the right and the left hand, very likely thing seen that he does it all day long!

1. Rich entitled doggie.

2. She paranoid of Jack the ripper.

3. Me tolds ya Bozo is pure gold!

…

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

1. LOL!

1. Pampered pooch.

2. Depilatory disaster

3. Gold guards

1. Walk the dog swiftly and do not lag. Off to the park to bury the swag.

2. He answers the door. She is shocked and how! Straight-razor Bozo heads to the hoosgow.

3. Armored car guards are armed and on duty. Emerge now from hiding holding the booty.

“Hidden gold” – Bozo and company left nothing to chance .

1. The original geo-caching.

2. Far too early for an unannounced visitor. Hopefully Bozo will get to the Pokey in time for Breakfast.

3. Trying to play on the ‘engine of commerce’ next to the engine. But nothing so far.

3. Lol, took me awhile to find “Waldo”

Fuzzy is jumpy, today.

Come on Bozo, you’ve had much worse jobs.

1) Obviously, Prissy can’t be expected to soil her paws to bury a bone.

2) Morning Shave + Jumpy Frumpy Lady = Not Passing Go or Collecting $200!

3) Very much the last place you’d expect the cash to be located.

1) Can You Dig It? – Booker T and the MGs 2) Razor Boy – Steely Dan 3) Gold – John Stewart (ft. Stevie Nicks)

Fuzzy jumps off the house roof, runs through the city streets, and finally builds enough momentum to get airborne. And, oh yeah… Bozo does some things.

1. Bozo is contemplating burying more than just the bone. :)

1. Aristodog.

2. Raise ’er blood pressure.

3. Trunk of gold.

Among those persons most admired by Foxo were Knute Rockne, the legendary football coach of the University of Notre Dame, Jack Dempsey, world heavyweight boxing champion, and humorist Will Rogers. Among his favorite actors were James Cagney, Edward G. Robinson, Spencer Tracey, and George Raft. His favorite comediennes were Gracie Allen, wife and partner of George Burns, and Imogene Coca.

One of Foxo’s favorite sayings was “Never judge a man until you have walked in his shoes.” Another was “You can’t do a job well unless you take pride in it.” And another was "Never be satisfied!

(The above words are taken from my book, "Whistling Down the Halls, The Times and Cartoons of America’s Original Pantomime Comic Strip Artist, a 260-page book available from many sites over the Internet. - Michael Reardon, producer of Bozo on GoComics and son of the late cartoonist Foxo Reardon.)

ARISTOCRAT- Like their owner, Peeks love to be pampered….get to digging Bozo! LITTLE SHAVER- MS Lanky doesn’t have a man, and feels endangered over does her fear. HIDDEN GOLD- Only Bozo would know the safest area to hide gold. (Fuzzy is active from jumping off Ms. Snooty’s roof, to dancing all over town.)

Just wait until social media, you can see videos of dogs living far more luxurious lives than you ever will!

2 Bozo was maybe expecting the scissor grinder man?

The Master of All Umbrellas:

1st Strip, 2nd panel; Well I’ll be. TMSU is trying to fly again!

2nd Strip; 3rd panel: TMAU is running away ‘cause he knows the cops’ill be comin’. Why would the cops arrest Bozo. He didn’t do anything that Olive Oyl may have claimed.

3rd Strip, 2nd panel. Again he’s running away as he sees uniformed men with guns.
