Absolutely splendid artwork today. Foxo the master of perspectives delivers great three dimensional depths in each ones.
Just look at the painstaking details Foxo provides. Observe the deer in the background, behind the trees. He runs away when Bozo fires at something. Look at the trees placed in a three dimensional perspective. And the last panel with Bozo looking at the circus poster, this scene is at an angle to the viewer’s perspective, creating a spectacular three dimensional depth effect. And the umbrella guy in the background enhancing the three dimensional aspect.
The second one is simpler, but still provides a great outdoor scene with aptly sized background elements creating a three dimensional depth.
The third one gives you the vastness of the indoor hall of the rich person, whoever it is that Bozo is visiting. The perspective is so good that we feel a three dimensional depth in this indoor scene. We feel the largeness and vastness of the hall of this mansion.
And all this is done on a two dimensional piece of paper and drawing by hand. To deliver such great artwork along with entertaining themes every day is a hallmark of a truly great cartoonist. And Foxo Reardon was certainly one.
Not to mention the facial expressions, body language and other things of the entertaining subject matters of the comics itself.
Just like Bozo the character is a one man army who comes in a small size, Bozo the comic strip is a complete entertainment package compressed into a little gem.
Anyone who isn’t reading Bozo is sure missing a lot of quality comic fun. And over here we’re fortunate to get three per day every day.
1) Bozo hunting big game! Only it is a drawing of a lion for an advert of an expy of Barnum & Baily Circus. (Nice background ACTION of a deer startled by the shotgun sound.)
2) A good bit of Rule of Funny here for super-strong Bozo brings an entire sundial out. He checks it with his fob watch and sees it doesn’t match and leaves an “OUT OF ORDER” SIGN instead of aligning it properly. Definitely an LOL moment.
3) Bozo accidentally knocking over a large fishbowl. The owner comes along and he shows us where the fish went, under his derby!

1 No wonder Umbrella Guy makes himself scarce for the other strips, somebody shot at him.
2 The sky is a bit overcast.
Always tip your hat to the ladies, even if it seems a bit fishy.

1. Well, judging from the holes, I’d say he didnt miss.
2. Need to replace the batteries in the sundial.
3. Bozo is just keeping those fish safe until he finds another bowl.

1- Maybe Bozo needs glasses, and shooting in the direction of a walkway is scary. Imagine an umbrella with holes in it!
2- All Bozo needed to do was wind up the sundial. That is, turn the Dial Plate so that the Gnomon points directly north. Didn’t he read the manual?
3- Perhaps a sundial would be more practical on that pedestal than a goldfish bowl.
