Bozo by Foxo Reardon for August 01, 2024

1. Bozann loves the love seat. Bozo, not so much.

2. Dog don’t want to retrieve, dog want to play fetch the ball.

3. Bozo figured out how to eliminate raking for years to come.

1 Looks like Bozo got seated in the friend zone. (Let’s Be Buddies — Ethel Merman)

2 Guess it’s still baseball season, eh Bozo? ( Come And Get It — Badfinger)

3 Looks like Bozo got a defective tree. (Woodsman Spare That Tree — Phil Harris)

1) Maybe if you left the cigar outside you could sit with her!

2) Oh, come on, the ball’s more fun. ⚽️

3) Trees do more good than bad. Shade, Oxygen, Beauty, and with two you can have a hammock.

3. I keep trying to do the same to my balcony flowerbed, but the neighbor above me waters hers, and the excess water trickles down to mine.

No matter what I do, I keep getting green stuff growing in my flowerbed, I don’t want it!

Bozos, what can I do to keep herbs from growing?

The balcony flowerbed, and its soil, came with the apartment. What do?

1. Bozo is sweet to secure a love seat. Up go her feet. Romance incomplete.

2. Retrieving dog does fail to duck. With a baseball Bozo’s stuck.

3. A constant breeze does blow. The whole tree has to go.

1. Couch ouch!

2. Bozo was use ball to well trains doggie to fetch.

3. No Bozo. Trees is ours friends. Grows more trees.

…

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 Fabulous FoXo’s Brilliant BOZO back for us all!

I took advantage of dogs’ lack of specificity to retrieve my Frisby from a lake. I borrowed a black lab from a passing dog walker (with permissions, of course), threw a rock out by the Frisby; with the rock out of sight, he grabbed the Frisby and brought it back.

1. Davenport diva

2. Ball return

3. Problem solved

A lovely way to set upon a Love Seat.

I’ve found attractive women seem to always get their way. With me, anyway.

Just keep J V Dunce away from that love seat.

1) Bozann really enjoys the loveseat, while Bozo’s stuck with the ottoman.

2) The duck was Daffy’s half-brother Dizzy Duck, and he gave Bozo’s dog the ball as a diversion.

3) Bozo’s getting sick of the falling leaves, so the tree’s going in the can.

1 no love beat with the seat 2 did he fetch a meat ball 3 leaves me alone

3. Ah, Bozo, you Dr. Filostrato!

1. Careful Bozo. Bible Ps 110.1 LORD speaks of making our enemies a footstool. Fuzzy on the job. 2. Fuzzy been treed. Says he’s seen it all – a BirdBall. 3. Fuzzy spies Bozo. Pest gotta go.

1) Take Comfort – Bread 2) Drinkin’ Beer and Wastin’ Bullets – Luke Bryan 3) Thorn Tree in the Garden – Derek and the Dominos

1. Love hassock.

2. Play fetch!

3. Don’t kill a tree on account of its leaves.

Fuzzy’s three for three today and in “Source of the trouble” Bozo fixed the trouble permanently . Things didn’t quite go according to plan with the love seat though .

During his twenty-two years as a cartoonist for the Times-Dispatch, Francis Reardon did thousands of cartoons of every kind, produced a weekly page or half page called “About Town,” created the long running (1935-1945) feature “Old Dominion Oddities,” which compared favorably with Ripley’s “Believe It or Not,” and created the comic strip, “Bozo,” which was always his first love.

(The above words are taken from my 260 page book, “Whistling Down the Halls, The Times and Cartoons of America’s Original Pantomime Comic Strip Artist,” available over the Internet. ….. Michael Reardon, Producer of Bozo on GoComics and son of the late cartoonist.)

3. Bozo sure got to the root of the problem. :)

Wow ! $75 bucks for that loveseat in 1950 . That’s a lot of cigars !

A guy who had just bought a brand new SUV and his buddy eagerly loaded it up with shotguns, ammo, beer, snacks, and a dog and drove it out to the lake to go duck hunting. Unfortunately, the lake was frozen solid, so much so that they could drive on it, which they did, with no open water for the ducks to land in. So they decided to open up some water with some dynamite that happened to be in the SUV, but didn’t fancy their chances of taking it out, lighting it, and getting a safe distance away on the slick ice before it exploded. So they threw the lit stick of dynamite. I said “a dog.” A Labrador retriever. Bred to retrieve things. Especially things thrown by its owner. So it went after the lit dynamite stick, caught it, and began to bring it back. The guys shot at the dog to stop it, but the birdshot didn’t do much damage to the dog, only confused it, so it ran and hid. Under the SUV. The insurance company refused to cover sinking one’s own SUV with illegal use of dynamite. Poor dog. – Source forgotten

@Foxo Rearden – All three strips were funny….good job!

1: What did I do?

2: Time for more training.

3: That’ll never work.
