Bozo by Foxo Reardon for July 01, 2024

1. Even the monkeys are better off than Bozo.

2. Bozo gets a light in a flash.

3. The old lady seems to have a little problem.

1 Bozo’s tale of woe touches the monkey’s heart. (Organ Grinder Blues — Ethel Waters)

2 Bozo manages to dry out his cigar and light it at the same time. (Lightning’s Striking Again — Lou Christie)

3 Officer Button’s mom wishes to report an annoying little man. (With A Little Help From My Friends — the Beatles)

1. Thank you, monkey.

2. Thank you, god.

3. Thankless gwanny!

…

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!

2 – Bozo must be on his way to McArthur Park.

♪♫ Someone lit his cee-gar… in the rain…. ♪♫

Panel #7 of strip #1 – Bozo’s Hat Hovers while lightning lights Bozo’s cigar.

1~~ Give or take, please!

2~~ An Obliging flash. There, I fixed it.

3~~ Well, if you were waiting for the bus you should have said so!

1. Don’t be in a rush. This monkey is flush.

2. Out in the pouring rain. A lightning flash insane.

3. Kind helping hand. In jail he’ll land?

1. Monkey money

2. Cigar strike

3. Ingratitude attitude.

Two extra great ones today . “More room” – all you need to make anything funnier is a monkey and “An obligng flash” – the artwork here is Foxo brilliance . Yes , it’s Foxo not the lightning bolt . I feel wet just looking at this . Foxo’s skill as an artist shows well here . In Micheal Reardon’s book , Whistling Down the Halls , there’s a section titled “Old Dominion Oddities” and the artwork is top notch . That this level of artistry comes through in the simple Bozo strip is an added bonus for us and I feel that it shows well in the depiction of the rain .

1) Monkey Man – The Rolling Stones 2) Flash – Queen 3) It Wasn’t Me – Shaggy

1) The monkey’s willing to give Bozo a little change for his trouble.

2) Bozo must have some friends in high places.

3) Hey Granny, Bozo is not a common grocery thief!

Fuzzy likes to close his umbrella in the rain. I have been trying to figure that out for many years, assuming there is some deep philosophical statement being made; however, I think Foxo must just have gotten a kick out of the reversed expectation. Fuzzy is unconventional — and likes it that way.

1) Hello, Fuzzy ☂️❤️ – Understanding monkey ☺

2) Love the unconventional way Fuzzy holds his “old reliable” ☂️… and it is closed, of course, because it’s raining ☔︎☁️☺ – Bozo has The Elements on his side⚡

3) Talking about misunderstanding ㋛ – Hi, Fuzzy ☂️❤️

2. Bozo almost got smoked himself. :)

No good deed goes unpunished.

MORE ROOM- Monkey believes the old Christmas Song…You Haven’t Got A Penny God Bless You! AN OBLIGING FLASH-Our Mighty Mite needs to quit smoking, but maybe a bolt of lightning tells us otherwise. PETTY THEFT- Ah Bozo helps the Little Ole Lady with her groceries and crossing the road, sadly the elderly matron thinks Bozo is a crook, I guess Ole Buttons will help Bozo to the “POKIE!” FUZZY running around the city in good weather naturally with Umbrella Open, and Closed Umbrella in a Thunderstorm.

Herr Regenschirmmammann.

1st strip, 2nd panel: It appears that our Regenschirmmann is running away from someone. Or maybe something?

2nd strip, 5th panel: He is running to get out of the rain.

3rd strip, 2nd panel: Just standing there watching the cars go by.

Herress Oma is sending Bozo back to officer cub.

Yeah, Herress is a made-up word.
