Bozo by Foxo Reardon for September 13, 2024

1) Bozo’s cross country training paid off.

3) They’d have gladly taken him if they’d seen him chase down that train.

“Mind over matter” – the April issue of “ Blah “ magazine . That cracked me up .

“Duty calls” – the second panel proves The Village People wrong . They didn’t want Bozo for a new recruit .

1) Bozo wants to take the Last Train to Clarksville, but he’ll meet it at the station!

2) Bozo shows us how to Duck and Cover!

3) Bozo’s ready now if the Boy Scouts are shipped to Korea!

1. Railroad race

2. Down the drain

3. Troop leader

1. The sprinter will perform and wait at the platform.

2. Shelter down the drain. Wait for the hard rain.

3. Volunteer rejected. Boy Scouts not neglected.

I see that GoComics finally updated!

1. Bozo hurried to the station so he wouldn’t miss the train.

2. Bozo shouldn’t read that magazine, nothing but Blah, Blah, Blah.

3. Obviously, the armed forces didn’t think Bozo measured up.

1) Train in Vain – The Clash 2) Atom Tan – The Clash 3) The Call Up – The Clash

1. Bozo played safe and ran past the train that was slowing down to get on it when it stopped.

2. Bozo imagined a backfire to be an atomic blast!

3. Bozo was kicked in the butt in all but the last panel.

•1• Bozo knew that conductor only wanted to see his ticket!

•2• In my school they told us to hide under our desks. I guess the sewer is just as effective.

•3• Bozo received a uniform rejection until he found a service that was just his size.

#3: Well, maybe the recruiters didn’t want Bozo during the Korean War, but he served heroically throughout the 2nd World War, fighting both the Nazis and the Imperial Japanese within the pages of the Richmond (Virginia) Times Dispatch. Many of those cartoon strips can be found in my 254-page book “Whistling Down the Halls, The times and Cartoons of America’s Original Pantomime Comic Strip Artist,” available over the Internet.

1 Umbrella Guy beat Bozo to the train. (Waiting For The Train To Come In — Peggy Lee)

2 Bozo improvises a bomb shelter but can’t resist peeking. (Up And Atom — Gene Krupa)

3 Peacetime Services pay a lot more attention to the recruit regulations Bozo, try again in two years. (You Can’t Always Get What You Want — Rolling Stones)

1. I hope that he remembered to buy a ticket. :)

1 – By waiting for the train to get to the next station, Bozo saves a couple of dimes off the fare to his ultimate destination. Thrifty!

1) Flash Bozo ⚡ – Hi, Fuzzy ☂️❤️

2) Double Fuzzy☂️❣️ – Bozo is way nicer than It/Pennywise

3) Is there something weird about Fuzzy’s ☂️❤️ pants or is that smoke from Bozo’s cigar? By the way, he looks happy with his enlistment, after all ☺

1. Bozo will catch train but train can’t catch up with Bozo.

2. Atomic scare.

3. Gotta be this tall to joins kid. Now goes back to yours scouts club!

…

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!

Bozo late for party today but then so was every comics on Go Comics today. As the old saying goes, better late than never, for BOZO is always welcome to come as BOZO is bring great joy and sheer cheer on any day any time and any place.

In panel #3 of strip #2, we have Bozo’s hat hovering over the early fears of atomic energy and atomic weapons.

Strip #3 has a Hovering Hat in the first three panels!!!

So far, I’ve collected 311 Foxo panels showing a Hover Hat in each.

Many of those panels have awesome collage potential!

MADE IT- Our Mighty Mite is not going to take a chance on missing the train, Bozo will be there when the train comes to the station. MIND OVER MATTER- Us oldies can remember the threat being bombed, even in our homes or kids in the schools DUCK AND COVER! DUTY CALLS- BOZO wants to be back in Uniform, but no way, except to join the Boy Scouts of America. Good to see 3 Fuzzy’s

I like all of these, they give glimpses into the time period. (My parents rode a train to the beach when they were children, around that time.)

That’s a train, not a taxi, Bozo. It won’t stop for you.

I think it’s safe now, Bozo. You can come out now. :)

“That’s the oldest lookin’ Scout I’ve ever seen!”
