Bozo by Foxo Reardon for July 16, 2024

1. Ahoy there, permission to come aboard.

2. Obviously the cop doesn’t have the time to help Bozo.

3. This was not an open and shut case for Bozo.

reminds me of an old joke about the newlyweds and the parrot!

1 Bozo shows off his sea legs. (Sit Down, You’re Rocking The Boat — Guys and Dolls)

2 As the crook gets away, the cop extols the benefits of a wristwatch over a pocket watch. (Too Much Time On My Hands — Styx)

3 Maybe next time Bozo. leave the mattress at home. (One O’clock Jump — Count Basie)

#1~ The first step aboard can be tricky, but Bozo aced it.

#2~ Time flies but the thief flees.

#3~ There’s an art to packing and Bozo’s not an artist.

It’s not “lost time” but “stolen time”.

1. Whatever floats your boat Bozo.

2. Forgets old times and looks at new times Bozo.

3. Jumping Jupiters Bozo!

…

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. Little ship sets sail. Bozo does avail.

2. Time flies. It’s not draggin’. Thief late for the wagon.

3. Stuffed trunk it does confound. On ceiling a rebound.

Lost time is a great joke well told.

1. Ship step

2. Stolen moments?

3. Overstuffed suitcase

1) Bozo will let the kid keep the toy boat after he crosses the puddle.

2) Fingers makes off with Bozo’s pocket watch and hitches a ride. Meanwhile, the cop wastes time showing off his wristwatch.

3) Maybe Bozo should learn to pack a little lighter.

1) Sail On, Sailor – The Beach Boys 2) Clocks – Coldplay 3) I’m Bound to Pack It Up – The White Stripes

1. fuzzy running wildly again. 2. Thief jumps in back of van. Fuzzy sees it all. Flatfoot day dreaming about supper and slippers. 3. Bozo takes the Headache approach to packing.

Somebody go tell Marcel Proust! Lost time is what he was in search of….

“Hitting the ceiling” – it must have been the elastic in his underwear .

Don’t want to be a downer but #1 reminds me of our basement this morning. Lots and lots of rain fell. :(

ACROSS BY BOAT- Ah it was rough sailing, trying to enter the boat nearly caused Bozo to overturn the craft. LOST TIME- The Neighborhood Burglar must have stole a pocket watch, but let Ole Buttons handle the situation…sadly Buttons only cares about giving the time of day, as the Neighbor slips away. HITTING THE CEILING- Sadly this reverse of what goes up comes down. Must be a spring in the suitcase. (Only 2 Fuzzy unless he is in the suitcase.

Umbrella Man:

1st Strip, 3rd panel: Our good gentleman is running down the street—likity split.

Again, The Umbrella Man:

2nd Strip; last panel:He’s walking down the street, not a care in the world.

3rd Strip: Our hero has taken the day off.

1. Gutter ferry.

2. Have you got the time?

3. Bouncy suitcase.

Bozo #1…!!!!They could run this in the few printed newspapers left today and it would be a hit!

4-panel strips. How neat is That !?  :-)
