Bozo by Foxo Reardon for January 21, 2023

Cars were sturdier in old days

1. Bozo cleaned the glass so well it looked like an open window.

2. Bozo needs to get all the hat thief suspects to Fall Inn.

3. Just feeding the parking meter officer.

1 Careful Bozo, I don’t think they’re aiming for the windows. (Steamy Windows—Pointer Sisters)

2 It’s so hard to shop for scarecrows, eh Bozo? (If I Only Had a Brain—Dr Frankenstein.)

3 Good news Bozo. You beat the meter maid. (Lovely Rita, Meter Maid—The Beatles)( Does look a little like a military man.)

Have a nice weekend, fellow readers.

1) Wasted effort (⁠◍⁠•_⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠

2) Someone doesn’t share Bozo’s taste in clothes ☺

3) I’m afraid that’s going to cost more than 5 cents ⭐

As usual, the strips show many beautiful details. Fuzzy’s always intriguing. ☺

1. Now that’s quite paneful to see.

2. Now that’s scary.

3. Whoopsie.

…

Just some splendidly superb perspective artworks in today’s all three strips.

In 1st building with Bozo and window drawn at an angle to the observer and a building and umbrella man placed in background, creating a simple but very effective depth perception.

In 2nd, 1st panel is just lovely with elements, objevts and peoples in foreground, background and in between, all placed at different focal lengths from observer. Other scenes also nicely portray three dimensional depths.

In 3rd, as you can see for yourself, gives a superbly splendid perspective of a street view with cityscape.

FoXo not only had a sharp and humourous wits but he was also a master of perspective artwork, both these qualities is rarely seen together in the same cartoonist.

So it no wonder that Fabulous FoXo’s fabulous fun funnies told funny tales without any characters ever saying a word, for FoXo excellently executed them with his awesome artwork alone.

So it no wonder that these wonderful wordless wonders are especially excellent epitomes of pictures speaking thousand words and that they still bring great joy and sheer cheer to many even today after so many decades and eras later.

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 more!

…

And yes, of course another big thumbs up big, 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 enjoyable ever excellent evergreen entertainer BOZO!

1ˢᵗ The definition of wasted effort (The governor of Calisota beat me to it!)

2ⁿᵈ I thought Bozo had a reserve supply of bowlers just because he loses his so often.

3ʳᵈ There’s no need to get two tickets! But those big old steel bumpers sure worked well!

Extra: Who can spot the safety violation today (if today’s laws had been in effect back then)?

You don’t suppose Fuzzy got down from the roof and threw that ball at Bozos clean window, do you? HA‼️

((((((( GASP‼️))))))) Okay! WHOS THE WISE GUY?

Bozos busted now‼️ But at least they can’t get him for not putting a nickel in the meter‼️☺️☺️☺️

1. Shattered

2. Scare-clothes

3. Meter mayhem

1) One of the disadvantages of living near an old ballpark.

2) The Fall Inn is not responsible for scarecrows making off with your hats!

3) Honest Officer, the Parking Meter ran right out in front of me!

is a good reminder that people haven’t changed. Don’t listen to your grandfather when he tells you “When I was a boy, you could trust people.” Here’s a reminder that in 1955 there needed to be signs warning people about petty theft. It’s the equivalent of today’s “Don’t leave valuables in your car.”

I detest dirty windows, but I’m afraid of heights so I never did what Bozo is doing. I was so happy when I moved into a place with newer windows that tip in for easy cleaning.

1) Walking On Broken Glass – Annie Lennox 2) Scarecrow – John Cougar Mellencamp 3) Look Ka Py Py – The Meters

Watch your hat and coat — especially if W.C. Fields is around.

1) CLEANING ISN’T PROTECTING: Bozo shining up the windows don’t protect them from errant baseballs. Popr Bozo works so hard.

2) WATCH YOUR COAT: Bozo finds a coat and hat missing. He finds them on someone’s scarecrow!

3) PARKING FINE ALL OF THE TIME: Bozo in a bit of a hurry mowed down a parking meter that still works! A cop has been alerted.
