Bozo by Foxo Reardon for November 29, 2022

1 For once Bozo is taller than his date.

2 It’s not like there were any coins in the hat.

3 Bozo goes pale as the cop closes in.

1) I heard about awful blind dates, way worse than this. ☺️

2) Boxo was playing just to be able to buy a new hat, so now he’s more surprised than upset. ☺️

3) Hide and camouflage ☺️

Has the GoComics debacle caused the toons’ titles to disappear,, permanently?

1) No date next time…

2) A-just found a nice hat on the ground!

3) Bozo hides as a ghost from the forces of the law.

Bozo gets stuck walking the foo-foo dog…

Mistaken intentions…

Bozo’s “white-out” scheme!

1. Doggy date 2. Tip of the hat 3. It’s a ghost!

1. Bait and switch

2. Headpiece heist

3. Flour power

Double dog dare date. Not lost but found. Cover and concealment. I’ve never seen a flour barrel. …or a barrel of crackers for that matter, though I love biscuits and gravy at Cracker Barrel.

Nothing to see here, flatfoot. Just a barrel of flour sitting on a city sidewalk.

Seeing Bozo being forced to walk the fancy-looking dog in #1 reminds me of a joke I heard many years ago. Two fluffy female French poodles are prancing down the street together when a rough-looking mixed breed male dog approaches them from the opposite direction. He is obviously interested in them, and he stops and says, “Hello! What are your names?” One of the poodles hikes her nose in the air and daintily says, “My name is Fifi, spelled F-I-F-I!” The other poodle turns up her nose as well and says, “My name is Mimi, spelled M-I-M-I!” The male dog says, “Well, my name is Fido!” The two poodles begin to laugh upon hearing the poor male dog’s name, to which he draws himself up proudly and says, “Spelled P-H-Y-D-E-A-U-X!!!”

1. Bozo’s date, what a dog.

2. Buddy can you spare a hat?

3. I keep thinking, why didn’t the cop wonder about a barrel of flour just sitting out in the open. Maybe Bozo’s problem with the police isn’t Bozo.

1. Tonight’s the Night 2. Men Without Hats 3. Whiter Shade of Pale

1. Doggone it!

2. Dangnabbit!

3. Bozo turn pale on sight of cop! :-P

…

And yes of course another big thumbs up, big applause and three cheers once again for the marvellous master cartoonist FoXo’s magnificent masterpiece, the most pleasant picturesque pantomime, the ever entertaining ever energetic ever enjoyable ever excellent evergreen entertainer epitome of picture speaking thousand words, BOZO!

Created by a lesser known but tremendously talented master cartoonist FoXo Reardon who was a true professional and undoubtedly one of the best cartoonists ever, BOZO never fails to bring me splendid joy and sheer cheer.

FoXo’s rare combination of talents that is the combination of both wits and artistic skills are such that he created comics where every panel look like pictures of a three dimensional cartoon world of realistic-looking depths and details in every scene, and in these scenes setup so skillfully are the characters who don’t need to say even a word to tell his funny tales but do so just through their great facial expressions and body languages.

And do not simply believe what I say but just look at these wonderful wordless wonders called BOZO and you’ll see for yourself what I mean!

So it no wonder that despite so many decades and era later too BOZO still comes like a fresh fragrant breeze even now and still brings great joy and sheer cheer to many.

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 more!

1) reminds me of an idea I had for a Rodgers and Hammerstein concert my community choir did: Sing “A Fellow Needs a Girl” from Allegro to my wife and one of our dogs. Some sample lyrics: “A fellow needs a girl to sit by his side / At the end of a weary day / To sit by his side and listen to him talk / And agree with the things he’ll say / A fellow needs a girl to hold in his arms / When the rest of his world goes wrong / To hold in his arms and know that she believes / That her manis wise and strong.” On the final line, “My kind of girl is you,” I’d pick up the dog.

#1-Set up for a blind date, with a Shitsu, hey she is cute. #2-Well the bum is Hat’s Off to Bozo’s playing! #3-Nothing like a little camouflage, when Buttons is around.

1) DOUBLE DATE-NOT: Bozo and friend on a night on the town. Bozo’s date is a dog, really a bowwow kinda dog!

2) THAT’S FOR ME: During his dirt-poor period Bozo plays fiddle for money on the corner and sets down his hat to take in any money. Another hobo takes his hat instead!

3) FLOUR POWER: While carrying a barrel of flour a cop comes by, so Bozo hides in the barrel, then goes on his merry way all white now!

Now all Bozo has to do if the cop comes by is to stand in front of a white wall. And hide that halo! It’s a dead giveaway.

Auntie Clockwise less than a minute agoStrip #2 has completely cracked me up!

And the geometric artwork in the strip is outstanding!

It’s the diagonals that twirl the propellor on my beanie.

And, it’s a Musical!
