Bozo by Foxo Reardon for November 16, 2021

3. Two’s company and fleas a crowd.

1 That’s what you get for attacking Bozo in his least vulnerable spot. (Umbrella Guy going for twice the usual protection. It’s a dangerous neighborhood)

2 The cops in this town on the other hand, seem to be a bit soft-headed. (Umbrella Guy looking forward to a great fall)

3 Might Bozann be a van Pelt? She seems deathly afraid of dog germs. (Umbrella Guy has an uplifting experience)

You don’t often see that level of violence in the funny papers.

And today, Bozo returns to action and then some romance. Bozo is the complete entertainment package. Funny, witty, and drawn better than most funny comics you knows. An epitome of the ol’ saying that a picture speaks a thousand words, characters in Bozo need no words to be funny.

And yes of course, a big thumbs up and a big round of applause for FoXo’s marvellous masterpiece, the picturesque pantomime, the wordless wonder called Bozo!

1. “Yes doc. Me reflexes is good.”

2. “Get down this instant? Okay sir, here I comes!”

3. “Oh, no, Mr. Bozo. I isn’t going to kisses you today!”

1) Reflexes: fine. 2) And down he came. 3) Well someone got his licks in.

3. Anyone noticed that poor guy in the background being hit by that car? Driver didn’t even try to slow down!

1.) Umbrella guy with double umbrella. Night shade?

Blackjack. High Jack. Hi Jack.(..and wow, where did he find her?)

Buzzy has a double umbrella in the first one, and get hit by a car in the third!

1. Umbrella Man at night!!!!

1. That crook was dumb, never let your guard down around Bozo.

2. Once again, what goes up must come down.

3. Bozann doesn’t like it when other critters kiss Bozo.

A concise roundup: Now we know where he stands on criminals, law enforcement, dogs, and pretty women.

1) Bonk Bonk on the Head: Bozo walking along and is hit with a sap by a crook. He goes down and the crook jumps over the low hedge to steal his wallet when Bozo kicks him under the jaw sending the masked bandit flying! (Bozo’s bowler is dented but alright.)

2) Running Up: Beat Cop is in pursuit of Bozo for some reason and is shocked when he finds that Bozo has shinnied up a tall pole he can’t reach. Bozo slides down and lands on the cop’s head.

3) Cutting In: Bozo hand in hand with Bozanne. Then a dog comes along between them and hits Bozo with a sloppy lick. Bozanne turns tail and walks the other way. What?

1〰 We’ve seen that crook before. I’d know that mask anywhere!

2〰 “Come down here right now!” And Bozo always obeys official orders.

3〰 Never mind Bozann, Bozo, and stick with your four-legged friend. You’ll never regret it.
