2. Eh he pays me for only one bag… Oh waitsaminute.
3. Bozo the most powerful shot ever.
…
And BOZO the most fabulous fun funnies ever.
For those who come in late, BOZO is created by lesser known but tremendously talented FoXo Reardon, a master of perspective artwork who makes you feel three dimensional depths in every scene of every panel, and the master of art itself as he needs only his artwork and his characters needed no words to tell his funny tales.
So no wonder these wonderful wordless wonders still bring great joy and sheer cheer to many even after so many decades and era has passed.
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 more!
…
And yes of course me gives another big thumbs up, big applause, and three cheers once again for the marvellous master cartoonist FoXo’s magnificent masterpiece, the most pleasant picturesque pantomime, the ever entertaining ever energetic ever excellent evergreen entertainer BOZO!

What was it like to grow up with a cartoonist as a father?
My father had been working as a professional cartoonist for sixteen years when I was born in 1937. He had worked the last fourteen of those years as a staff cartoonist for the Richmond (Virginia) Times-Dispatch, one of the South’s leading newspapers, doing every type of cartooning: news, sports, humor, editorial, and creating a number of regularly published features, as well as working outside sketching assignments at the courts and at crime scenes.
Among his created features was Bozo, the world’s original pantomime comic strip. He created that strip at age 16 in 1921 just after being laid off as sports cartoonist at the Times-Dispatch and before being rehired in 1923.
My father worked afternoon and evening hours at the paper. I was child number six, which meant my bedtime was earlier than that of my older siblings. I remember lying awake in bed alone and afraid in the dark, and the relief I felt when Dad returned home around 9 p.m. or so, his booming voice heard throughout the house as he relayed to my mother all the events of the day at the newspaper. Obviously, any bad guys would be chased off by that voice. And that voice was usually filled with enthusiasm and excitement. So, considering the hours that he worked, he was gone most of the day during my first eight years, but his zest for life had a definite impact on me. His voice reflected all the excitement of the world. So I knew there was a lot going on out there.
In 1945, at the end of World War II, my father became internationally syndicated with the Chicago Sun-Times Syndicate with his comic strip Bozo, which was always his first love…….
1) MY TIME: Chesterton waiting to see President of the Company Bozo. He waits and waits till he can wait no more and barges in finding Bozo hand stitching his own long striped socks!
2) WHICH WAY TO GO: Bozo finds Chesterton and carries all his luggage one way then goes another way leaving Bozo confused!
3) FOUR SCORE SWING: The Bozo version of golf is eye opening. He drives one ball over 7 miles! Fuzzy is watching at a distance, Bozo’s unknown biographer.

1 It took Bozo a good hour or so just to thread the needle.
2 Bozo accidentally becomes a luggage thief…and not a cop in sight!
3 This may have been a job for a putter Bozo.

1) Bozo will be darned if he lets his socks take precedent over Mr. Bluster there.
2) There must be a woman back at the station wondering where all her luggage went,
3) Now that’s a long drive!
