Bozo by Foxo Reardon for October 17, 2024

1. Smart move Bozo, your new suit could have shrunk in the rain.

2. Once the big guy finds out, will Bozo be able to patch up their friendship?

3. It takes a special talent to swat a fly off a golf ball with a golf club and not move the ball.

1 Bozo wanted to wear it home, but knew that would just invite some jerk driver to hit him with a mud puddle. (Let It Rain —Eric Clapton)

2 Maybe shouldn’t have harvested from a thin-worn area Bozo. (Fixing A Hole — the Beatles)

3 Bozo cleeks a fly. (Fly Trouble — Hank Williams)

3 – If Bozo meant to swing at the fly (and doesn’t touch the ball) … it’s not a counted as a swing for scoring purposes. Even if he already addressed the ball.

somebody please finish that..

1: That’s another reason not to buy a wool suit.

2: The purloined patch!

3: Please bee, leave me.

1) There’s a Mrs Fuzzy! Huh, who knew?

“ Shrink proof “ – pretty snazzy double breasted suit there Bozo . And don’t you just love how Foxo drew the storm clouds brewing from panel to panel ?

1. Bozo does not mind some rain. Strips off his suit and twirls his cane.

2. Trousers torn? He can fix these. For his pal a cool breeze.

3. Distracted by a buzzing fly. One mighty swing. The fly does die.

1. It say only dry cleans em. So can’t gets em wet.

2. Gotta zoom in to last panel to sees wt he do here.

…

And Fabulous FoXo was knows awesome arting!

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. Suit save

2. Drafty

3. Fly stroke

1) Bozo doesn’t want to get his new suit wet!

2) The big guy is wondering why he’s feeling a draft on his backside!

3) Smacking the fly off your golf ball is a mulligan under the “Bozo Rules of Golf”, Rule 6, Section 3, Paragraph 2!

“AN ABSOLUTE DELIGHT!”

Words above are the those of Thomas A. Silvestri, long time Publisher of the Richmond (Virginia) Times-Dispatch, after reviewing my book, “Whistling Down the Halls, The Times and Cartoons of America’s Original Pantomime Comic Strip Artist,” a 254-page book with some 800 cartoons by Foxo Reardon, including 500 syndicated “Bozo” strips. Cartoons date from 1925 thru 1955. The book is available over the Internet from Amazon, Walmart, bookamillion, Barnes and Noble and other sites.

I’m going to take a break from Gocomics for at least a while. This site has become so inundated with ads that it’s hard to bear (sorry Gent not personal) and I refuse to pay a premium for things I can get for free elsewhere. I especially like Bozo and all of your great comments and send you all only my best. Take care. :)

Many thanks to the three new Bozo followers who have joined the Bozo page since Tuesday. Welcome!!
