Turns your Terrible Tuesdays into Terrific Tuesdays with Fabulous FoXo’s Brilliant BOZO!

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! 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 yes 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!

1. New Year rung in as midnight chimes. Add vandalism to his crimes.

2. He did resolve smoke he would not. Angelic half took his best shot.

3. Brisk Winter air can sting yet please. Bozo is launched! He wears no skis.

1. Testing the theory that the cops are off partying.

2. Bozo got Bozoed.

3. Testing the theory that all equipment is optional.

1. One last brick for the old road. No derby, no stogie… it will never be.

1) The last thrown brick of 1951 becomes the first broken window of 1952!

2) Bozo’s guardian angel is no sissy!

3) Bozo glides through the air with the greatest of ease, despite the fact that he has no skis!

“ Noise Maker “ – You just had to know that Bozo would start the New Year off right !

I quit stogies a few years ago, only for financial reasons. Burning up $10 bills became unsustainable.

1. See you fuzzy, hey. Panel 4. Bozo throwing a brick that far – should try pitching baseball. What an arm. 2. A good licking often straighten out a heathen intention. Hey Fuzzy panel 4. 3. Hey Fuzzy panel 2. And Bozo the Clown trick skiing. Will he stick the landing or end head down ????

What else would you like our audience to know about Bozo or your dad?

My dad was a born cartoonist. He never held a job title other than that of “cartoonist.” It wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to say that he was born with a drawing pen in one hand and a bottle of India ink in the other. He liked to tell the story of how he as a 16-year-old “sat on the editor’s doorstep every day” until he was finally hired. He loved his family and his country. He supported the civil rights movement before it became fashionable. He raised eight children—six sons and two daughters—all responsible citizens, which included a Jesuit priest and a pediatrician who served as a volunteer doctor for four years in Vietnam during the war there. All sons served in the military: three in the regular U.S. Marine Corps during the Korean War and three in the active reserves. Bozo was carried by Stars and Stripes, the newspaper of the U.S. Armed Forces and was popular with our men and women in uniform.

After Dad’s passing, Ham Fisher, the creator of the Joe Palooka comic strip wrote my mother a long letter of condolence, several pages long, which he ended with the tribute, “I have known very few like him in a long lifetime.”

It is my profound hope that GoComics subscribers will make my dad’s words, “Bozo will not die” a continuing reality.

3. Bozo officially launches the New Year, even if it is one day late. :)
