Bozo by Foxo Reardon for August 13, 2024

1. Bozo needs to buy some new pants, but he got no money.

2. Bozo enjoys his book from any position, he’s probably reading “Whistling Down the Halls”.

3. Things are looking a little Fuzzy here.

⓵ I’ve heard of a whipper snapper, but never a snipper snapper.

⓶ There’s always two ways of looking at something, and I trust Bozo’s judgment!

⓷ Extra man on the field, and he looks very suspicious!

1 The light-fingered gentleman thinks Bozo is unfair to pickpockets. (The First Cut Is The Deepest — Sheryl Crow)

2 And Bozo was right in the middle of a “The Upside-Downs of Little Lady Lovekins and Old Man Muffaroo” adventure too. (Upside Down — Diana Ross)

3 Umbrella Guy was just closing his umbrella, so Game is about to be called on account of rain anyhow. (You Done Lost Your Good Thing — B. B. King)

1. A cut-pocket pickpocket.

2. Ha ha ha. They is all upside downs. Ohwaitsaminute.

3. And now for the new game of umbrellaball.

…

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!

1. Bus stop thief does steal. Leaves a big reveal.

2. Mad comics are a riot. A flip makes Bozo quiet.

3. A punt the boys do dodge. Umbrella camouflage.

“Pick-pocket” – That thief just picked the wrong pocket .

1. Drafty drawers.

2. Unhelpful hand

3. Purloined pigskin

1) We all know Bozo is a cut-up, but that’s just silly.

2) I bet if Bozo flipped the other guy’s newspaper upside down, the news would be a lot funnier.

3) Fuzzy just closed out the football game after catching Bozo’s punt.

1 pocket rocket pick pocket 2 more fun through comics 3 hidden ball trick

Fuzzy’s only appearance today is a biggie!

2. Bozo looks like he wants to flip that guy the bird. :)

Just love umbrella man!

(The story below has appeared before on the Bozo page. I repeat it here for those new GoComics subscribers who has since joined the Bozo page.}

On a warm night in April 1938, Philip Jefferies, age 12, wandered into the offices of the Richmond (Virginia) Times-Dispatch, one of the South’s leading newspapers. He had in hand his creation of a comic strip he named “Nicky.” Ignored in the hustle bustle of the night with looming deadlines, a voice then rang out, according to a full page article in the paper of May 1, : “Hey, just look at this wouldya?” Foxo was saying to anyone who would listen. “This boy is a wonder…why don’t you give him a story. Look at this drawing. It’s a knockout.”Young Philip was then interviewed and his story published, with a photo of him and Foxo together, as a full page story in the magazine section the next Sunday, May 1, 1938. After that interview by the reporter, Philip had added:

“The main thing I wanted to say, though, is how much Foxo has helped me. He told me what kind of ink to buy and what kind of pen to get and I see all the difference in the world in my drawing. If you think this drawing of Nicky is good, you ought to see the one I’m going to make with the new materials. Besides, Foxo told me things to do to make my drawings reproduce better. I think he’s wonderful, and I hope I can draw half as well as he can one day.”

After that encouragement from Times-Dispatch cartoonist and art director Foxo Reardon, Philip Jefferies went on to become a successful Hollywood Art Director and was nominated for an Academy Award. Later He assisted his Art Director brother Matt Jefferies in designing the Starship Enterprise for the Star Trex TV series.The Jefferies tubes that accessed various internal workings of the fictional U.S.S. Enterprise were named for Philip Jefferies in recognition of his contributions to the Starship design .

Get him, Bozo! And cut a hole in his pants!

Better explain it to him, mister.

That deserves an applause.

3. Fuzzy plays like a pro!

The guy in the middle strip looks kind of like Caspar Milquetoast from Harold Tucker Webster’s wonderful strip The Timid Soul. But Mr. Milquetoast would never in a million years be so bold as to presume to reorient the book someone else was reading merely because it was upside-down.

The Mr. Fuzz:

1st Strip. No panel. He’s taking a staycation.

2nd Strip, Again no panel. He must be enjoying his staycation.

3rd Strip; Panels 3 & 4.He’s come off his staycation and is the ✩.

1. Can’t put a patch on that.

2. Topsy-turvy comic world.

3. Fuzzy stops the game.

PICK POCKET- Bozo is wondering why everyone is smiling on such a drafty day. FUNNIER THE OTHER WAY- Laugh and the World Laughs with you, unless your laughing upside down. HIDDEN BALL PLAY- Ole Fuzzy made his presence aware with the OLD HIDDEN BALL TRICK.
