Bozo by Foxo Reardon for July 12, 2024

1. This should keep the kid occupied for a while.

2. Somebody cue up the Robert Palmer song!

3. Bozo was “Enlightened”.

❶•• Ball, he cried!

. . . How many? Bozo replied.

❷•• Bozo is always irresistible, it can’t be denied!

❸•• And like a flash of light in the night, he took flight!

1 Bozo found where all the summer fun got to. (I’m The Guy Who Found The Lost Chord — Jimmy Durante)

2 If Bozo says it works, that’s good enough for me. (Kiss Of Fire — Louis Armstrong)

3 Bozo sees the light all right. (Flashlight — Parliament)

All great today, but that last one is the best I’ve seen in a long time…

1. Kid is gonna have a ball now. Lotsa ball!

2. Irrefutably irresistible.

3. It would be shame to lose this one. It the first theeng me ever steals.

…

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 – Here you go – all the balls you want, fresh out of the sewer!

1) Aww, Fuzzy ☂️❤️ depicted on the fence ☺ – What a harvest, Bozo!

2) Bozo’s trust in advertising is strong. Fuzzy ☂️❤️ twice in the strip!

3) Shameless Fingers ☺ and Bozo breaking the fourth wall ☺ – Fuzzy ☂️❤️ on the roof, at night… Maybe someone summoned him with a Fuzzy-signal ☂️☺

1. A ball lost down the drain? A bounty soon does rain!

2, Bozo spies rare beauty. His plan is smooch for bliss. Leaps up on the counter and seals it with a kiss.

3. Flashlight was left. Bozo bereft.

1. Seek and thy shall find. Bozo put a happy smile on little tot and doggy. Happy day folks. Smile. 2. Buy a big bottle for Boz, Bozo and hold on. 3. Pardon me, I left me flashlight. Thanks bub.

1) Bozo finds enough balls in the sewer for the kid to open his own sporting goods store!

2) As the song goes, she used to look good to Bozo but now he finds her simply irresistible!

3) Fingers loses his flashlight, and Bozo is kind enough to give it back!

“Obliging” – Bozo needs to rub the sleep out of his eyes and grab his coat .

1. Bounces aplenty

2. Perfume peck

3. Conniving crook

1) Another One – Mac DeMarco 2) Simply Irresistible – Robert Palmer 3) Forget Me Nots -Patrice Rushen

LOST AND FOUND- Bozo is always willing to help a child in need, this time the kid needs a wheelbarrow to hold all the balls in the sewer. IT WORKS- The Irresistible perfume worked on the good-looking salesgirl, but true test would be the lady in panel 2. OBLIGING- It never seems to end with the Friendly Neighborhood Burglar, Now he is expecting tools to help his thievery. (My favorite of LOST AND FOUND- Foxo’s graphite of Fuzzy on the fence….he could have drawn him like always either in foreground, background, or at a distance. But to draw him as a stick figure on the fence is PRICELESS.

2. Couple of minutes earlier Bozo might have kissed someone else and who knows where that might have led. :)

1. Jackpot!

2. Irresistible Bozo.

3. Light fingers.

I know it’s just a comic, but you get so fond and familiar with the characters that you think, hmm, Bozo moved a 90 lb manhole cover to look for the kid’s coin, that was nice!
