Bozo by Foxo Reardon for December 15, 2022

1) Sometimes the problems are smaller than we think, and the solutions are easier. Good job, Bozo. ☺

2) Oh my, dear Bozo, oh my, we’ll stay far from you today, Fuzzy and I. ☺

3) Don’t you forget about me…. ☺

How many pups does Bozo have?

1 She’s lucky Bozo didn’t have to take the set back to the shop.

2 Bozo be breaking in a new hunting dog. (Any resemblance to Bugs, Elmer, and unnamed Dog is strictly in the eye of the beholder.)

3 Can’t forget the important stuff, right Bozo?

Hooray! BOZO is back!

1. LOL! Now TV gets clean signal!

2. Oh no. It is The Killer Bunny Rabbit of Caerbannog. RUN!

3. Not so fast, pal. You forgets me treat!

…

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 BOZO!

For those who comes in late, BOZO created by the tremendously talented FoXo Reardon who never needed his characters to say a single word ever to tell his funny tales.

These excellent epitomes of pictures speaking thousand words are also the most well drawn daily funnies I seen. Just look at any panel above and see for yourself, each panel is like a photograph of a scene from a three dimensional cartoon world of realistic-looking depths and details. This is why I say BOZO is not just mere pantomime but most pleasant picturesque pantomime. FoXo was a rare combination of both humourous wits and artistic talents in the same cartoonist.

As comics is primarily an art medium of expression through artwork, BOZO is especially a splendid work of art as it expresses through awesome artwork alone without any monologues or dialogues whatsoever. All that’s here is FoXo’s splendidly skillful artwork and excellent execution of humour in form of artwork.

So it no wonder that despite so many decades and era later also BOZO still comes like a fresh fragrant breeze even today 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!

3. Full service shops. A thing of the past. Even in 1954.

Many think that if comedy isn’t new or modern that it is of diminished value. I think that the opposite is closer to the truth. Where have all the great comedians gone: Milton Berle, Jimmy Durante, George Gobel, Bob Hope, Flip Wilson, Jack Benny, Jerry Lewis, Red Skelton, Jackie Gleason, and so many more? There were never greater comedians than them. The same can be said of the truly great classic cartoonists. Their work can’t and won’t be surpassed, no matter how modern or “new” be those that follow. The Golden Age of Cartooning, the ’30s, ’40s, and ’50s, was just that: golden.

(Above is a quote from my July 2021 interview with GoComics. The entire interview can be found on the GoComics Blog, page 2.)

Woo hoo!!! Welcome back to Bozoland, my friends! It sure is wonderful to have him running again. I posted another comment on the set of comics from 12/12/22, thinking that we were facing a THIRD day without our well-drawn little buddy. Perhaps I should have refreshed the page first… :^)

And I’ll finish this comment with the same ending I did on the one I just left… have a blessed and wonderful day, everyone!

1. A screen cleaning.

2. The game is afoot?

3. Doggie treat.

No snow. New foe. New bobo. In all fairness to the dog, that’s a really big rabbit.

1) The signal’s not bad, it just needs a good dusting.

2) Well, the dog flushed out the rabbit, but not exactly how Bozo expected.

3) Another dog reminding Bozo to get him a little something.

Go, GO, GO!

Run BUNNY Run!<)>(…woo hoo…)

1. Now that’s what I call a fuzzy TV picture (No, not that Fuzzy).

2. Bozo’s going wabbit hunting.

3. The dog’s got a bone to pick with Bozo,

My advice is don’t eat so close to the TV!

Uh ooh! Jack Wabbit ….

Give the doggy a bone!

1) It’ll be 200$ please!

2) Rabbit strikes back.

3) Bad to the bone.

That TV can’t be very old in 1954. We got our first one delivered to our house on Tuesday, November 4, 1952, just in time to watch the election results. Eisenhower won, by the way.

BOZO 1- Reminds me of an elderly Aunt I used to have in the 50’s, she said every time she went by her TV the hairs on her arm would rise. She always had my cousins turn the TV on and off and change channels. BOZO 2- Looks like Poochie met up with Bugs Bunny wanna be. BOZO 3- Ah so near to Thanksgiving, Bozo must be fixing Thanksgiving meal for all, even Poochie with his special request.

1. What’s old is new again. My wife worked in IT and had a complaint from the warehouse guys that their monitor was so dim they couldn’t see it. She went there and, after checking brightness controls and all, realized the cigarette smoke in there had created a thick film on the monitor. After cleaning it, they had a bright screen again…

1) Video Killed the Radio Star – The Buggles 2) Hound Dog – Big Mama Thornton (the original!) 3) That’s What Friends Are For – Dionne Warwick (et. al)

My local butcher charges $6 per pound for beef bones. We roast them and then make bone broth.

You’ve heard of rabbit dogs? That there is a dog rabbit. Could be invaluable if you’re hunting wild dogs, and probably good for hunting other canids, too — foxes, coyotes, wolves….

1) CLEAN YOUR SCREEN: T.V. repairman Bozo finds an easy fix for a bad picture. A rag and cleaner now clear and clean!

2) THE HUNTED HUNTS THE HUNTER: Bozo out with his beagle to hunt rabbit. Snoots comes running back barking in fear as the rabbits chases him. Bozo is puzzled!

3) BONES ABOUT IT: Grocery shopping a pup pulls his shirt wanting the bag. The grocer finds a big bone for him. Everyone happy!
