Your Miserable Moandays become Marvellous Mondays with Fabulous FoXo’s Brilliant 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• Giving the mailman the cold shoulder!

2• Drive-in mower service.

3• Did you guys find the leak?

Bozo, friend of the working man!

“ Out of gas “ and “ Deep water “ really tickle me today . It’s fun to see the old lawn mower which is the old style reel lawn mower with a gas engine cobbled onto it . Look at the air cleaner on it . It’s an oil filled one before paper air filters came around . The plumbers torch for sweating copper pipes together is refillable unlike later models . But to the funnies , the mental image I have of Bozo in the drain pipes in that divers gear is hilarious .

The mailman has a nice cleaned and pressed regulation uniform on . You should’ve seen the mailman I saw a while back . He looked like a hippy . Times have sure changed .

1. Burden of heat. Ice block so sweet.

2. Mower does wheeze. More petrol, please.

3. Plumbers arrive. Deep water dive.

1. Cool thinking Bozo. Soggy mail but acool mailman. 2. 2 pints please and check the oil. Fuzzy in the tree. 3. Talking about getting down to work! See you Fuzzy see window pane. Believe it or not, I actually used a Gas powered blow torch like that plumber was carrying back in the 1950’s on our tobacco farm. Dangerous if not used right. Had to pump it up.

1) The mailman may feel cooler, but he has to carry all the letters in his arms now!

2) Bozo wants to fill up his mower direct from the source, no gas can!

3) That must’ve been quite a leak in the basement!

1. Cold shoulder?

2. Fill’er up!

3. Deep dive.

Panel 2 the funniest………

Thanks to the two new Bozo followers who have joined the Bozo page since Friday. Great!!

1 Wait a minute Mr Postman, got a special delivery for you. (Ice Ice Baby — Vanilla Ice)

2 Hope the tank holds enough to get Bozo home again. (Running On Empty — Jackson Browne)

3 Bozo knows all the right tools for the job. (Black Water — Doobie Brothers)

The assistant in the third one should be wearing a mask, if he isn’t already! Yeesh! :)

“A glass of water woulda been fine, but thanks anyway!”

Dale Gribble: Are you gonna talk or are you gonna mow?

Thank God they came prepared.

1. Ice back pack.

2. A nickel’s worth of gas please.

3. Down under plumbing.

TBH — I think strip 2 shows a Reardon trait — why invest in a gas can when you can push the mower 10 blocks to fill it up at no cost?

Bozo is one of the most underrated yet GREATEST comic strips EVER. It ran from 1925 to 1955. There was also a Sunday strip. It is totally worthy of a collection. I’d love to see the Sundays’ as well some of the early strips to see how it evolved into the masterpiece it became….

Haven’t thought about gas pumps with a reset crank or lever in a ’koon’s [GC’s deranged language nanny at work again] age — or longer! I can still hear the “gallon” bell ding in my mind’s ear, too.
