Let me say to everyone that I am so very pleased to see the Bozo strip from October 17th show up here! This is the strip that I have mentioned a time or two recently in hoping that it would not be one of the skipped strips.
For those of us who have the “Whistling Down The Halls” book, you already know that the 10/17 strip is the final Bozo strip shown in the book. Michael Reardon was kind enough to correct me a few weeks ago when I mentioned that I assumed this was the last comic that Foxo did before his untimely passing and that it was such an appropriate end for both the Bozo comic and for Foxo Reardon as well. I thought that perhaps this was Foxo’s unique way of drawing himself leaving this world. When I read that last Bozo comic strip in the book I had a huge smile in my face, as my immediate first thought was that this was Foxo saying to all of his followers, "I"ll show myself out." :^) That one strip in particular has come to mean a great deal to me, and I am so happy to see it included here today. I am also happy to see a few more new Bozo strips that I hadn’t seen before. As with all of us, I am sad to know that we are near the end of Foxo’s “new” work and will be starting over once again on Thursday, but I am very happy and grateful that Michael has opened up this door for us to enjoy his father’s outstanding work. In a sense, we can all “show ourselves back in” to enjoy round two of Bozo! :^)
My eternal thanks to Michael Reardon for bringing Foxo’s work back into the light. I am personally grateful for that and also for the wonderful connections that I have made with the Bozo comic page. We are all part of a worldwide family and that should always be celebrated. Stay safe and have a wonderful day, my friends! :^)
