Bozo by Foxo Reardon for November 08, 2024

1. Bozo realized that he was experiencing life in the slow lane.

2. You get what you pay for.

3. Bozo couldn’t spare any change, now he can.

1) Fuzzy ☂️ is having a lot of fun – Little Dog is fast!

2) Even Little Dog looks outraged ☺ – Fuzzy ☂️ sitting on the wall, watching everything. Talking about extras, as usual FoXo took his time to draw different people walking in every panel. Details everywhere, in FoXo’s work! ♥

3) Bozo gives what he can. Fingers being reasonable. Goodnight, Fuzzy ☂️

•1• And the winner is, IT’S A TIE!

•2• If Bozo found that newspaper ad annoying in 1951, he’d be surprised at what we put up with today!

•3• Sorry Fingersl , you’re not in the big time yet.

Got my copy of “Whistling down the halls; The times and cartoons of cartoons of America’s pantomime comic strip artist.” Highlights from 30 years of Bozo. Written by Michael, Foxo’s son. Looking forward to silently taking it all in.

2. Nice swindle

1. In a big rush he grabs the bus. Bozo leaves the street. Speedy pooch passes them by. He switches back to feet.

2. Bozo sure loves to read the news. Conned by the kid, he pays his dues.

4. Armed robber a foul thief. Bozo now needs relief.

1. Reminds me of the last time I took a bus in London.

2. Click Bait, the early years. It has never been otherwise.

3. There seems to be a Service Charge for everything.

“ Change “ – Hey Fingers ! You’re a two bit crook and that’s all you’re getting .

Love Bozo. Makes my day a whole lot better. And Fuzzy I see you in all three strips today. A man of Umbrella Marvel.

1) Bozo speeds for the bus, and the dog keeps pace until the next stop!

2) Read all about it! You Gotta Have Your Pops!

3) OK, Fingers, you can have my dollar, but I expect to get my change back!

1. Faster on foots.

2. Extra promotional.

3. Oh noes pal. It ain’t worth that much. Gimme the change.

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!

Pssst, rumor has it that a young Michael Reardon gave his dad the idea for the third strip, Change!

In the late 90s we still had newspaper vendors in Chicago. Now the few places to buy a newspaper charge $3 for the Sun Times. I miss newspapers.

1. Doggone!

2. False advertising.

3. Time for change.

1. Rapid Rover

2. Cereal con

3. Bus fare?

1) Whenever I step into an escalator, I tend to climb, be it up or down, instead of just waiting for it to slooooooowly reach the top or bottom, but one time, I felt curious about a lady in front of me.

She was restless, impatient, annoyed.

So I just stood behind her, as the escalator went down, to confirm my suspicions.

As soon as she reached the ground floor, I kid you not, she all but started running. She was obviously in a hurry, but then why, oh why, if she thought the stairs were slow, did she just stand there, instead of walking?

She must’ve been about mid-20s to early 30s, so it’s not like she lacked the motor skills.

People are… baffling.

He figured taking the bus would be cheating.

“I gotta have my Pops.”

Good service.
