Bozo by Foxo Reardon for December 24, 2022

1 Madam Zyx predicts a perfect game, but only if Bozo buys the perfect ball. ($5.00 cash on the barrelhead and you’re out of the gutters!)

2 Nice try Bozann, but after buying a magic bowling ball the only thing Bozo can afford is a cheap men’s wristwatch.

3 Alas, the magic bowling ball has not helped with Bozo’s putting. (Next time try raking the rug first.)

1. The dame foresees a strike but not Boz’ wit

Who said: “Alley hop! We gotta split!”

And bought her crystal ball right from its seat

With cash, a handful, just a bit

To send all pins down the river Styx

This all happened at Madam Zyx

2. Time’s ticking to get your presents to present

Presently I’d “watch” out what ya buyin’ in the end…

3. No pain no gain – don’t go insane!

That’s why they talk ‘bout “RUGged” when something’s not plane

A fact with effect that can’t be swept under the rug

Makes you plug out your hair gives your heartstring a tug

At least you have a place to complain…

1) Isn’t that glass? I wonder how this is gonna end. ☺

2) Bozo making Bozann angry… again! ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ

3) Carpet’s fault! ☺

Bozo is striking out in the future and beyond….

….and it keeps on ticking…Bozann is really “ticked off” this time‼️

It’s a swing and a miss! Back to Home- Depot

1. Envisagement?

2. Horological Solecism

3. Off-putting green?

1. The outcome is crystal clear.

2. Bozo agreed with Bozann he needed to make time to check out that shop.

3. Bozo was not happy with the carpet he putt down.

1) I’ll give you five bucks for your crystal bowling ball!

2) Still got a week to get Bozo back to the store and make him buy Bozann a ring.

3) I wanna get my hands on the putz who sold me this rug! It’s the most uneven surface I’ve ever seen!

☃¹ Bozo’s fragile future is forecast!

☃² Bozann expected a ring when Bozo had the time.

☃³ You can’t putt a wobble ball!

Good for something. Good for me. Good for nothing. Indoor putting is only really good for getting better at indoor putting. Practice on the links.

1. Bozo foresee a great game ahead.

2. You so beautiful already Bozanne. Why you needs pretty jewellery?

3. So much for your indoors golf mattress!

…

Tis the season of giving, folks. So give a like and a follow to these wonderful wordless wonders from the glorious golden era of cartooning, created by a tremendously talented FoXo Reardon who was in no way any lesser than any well known cartoonists of all time, and give yourself a great fun time with these fabulous fun funnies from another era.

These excellent epitomes of pictures speaking thousand words are so picturesque that they look like photographs of a three dimensional cartoon world of realistic-looking depths and details. Such was the perspective powers of FoXo who told funny tales with his awesome artwork alone without ever needing his characters to say a single word.

These ever entertaining ever energetic ever enjoyable ever excellent evergreen entertainers are the marvellous master cartoonist FoXo Reardon’s magnificent masterpieces, a most pleasant picturesque pantomime I has seen.

FoXo a rare combination of both humourous wits and artistic talents which is rarely seen together in the same cartoonist, so it no wonder that these wonderful wordless wonders still bring great joy and sheer cheer to many.

Spread the word, friends, so that BOZO can spread more joy and cheer to many more! After all, tis the season of spreading joy and cheer, is it not?

And yes, yes of course another big thumbs up, big applause, and three cheers once again for BOZO!

With taking care of things during this extremely frigid weather season and with taking care of family during this holiday time I haven’t had much of an opportunity to post on here. I’m also not sure of how much of an opportunity I’ll have to write anything tomorrow on Christmas Day so, while I have a moment, I want to wish all of my fellow Bozoian friends a merry and wonderful Christmas. Whether you are celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or perhaps even nothing at all, may your day be memorable and special. To Michael Reardon, thank you for giving us the gift of Bozo. Wishing everyone the joys and heartfelt appreciation of this season. Let’s all do our very best to make every day just as special as these upcoming days and be the absolute best human beings that we can be. Merry Christmas to all, stay safe and warm and have a fantastic day! :^)

1) BOWLING WISHES: Bozo sees a psychic, likes what he sees and buys the crystal ball to use in his bowling game. Bozo believes in them!

2) SHINY THINGS: Bozann stops Bozo to get her some jewelry. They come out and Bozo got himself a fancy wristwatch. Bozann isn’t happy about it!

3) SATISFACTION GUARANTEED: Golfing in a ramshackle room his golf ball misses the putt.Bozo uproots the carpet and carts it all by hand to complain about it!

1) Ode to Joy 2) Silver and Gold 3) Do You Hear What I Hear

Thank you. Very clever. Appreciated!

A very Merry Christmas to all Bozo followers. Judging from the comments during these now almost two years, there are no finer people. Our family usually finds time on Christmas day to view Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” I was reading how during the six weeks that Dickens spent writing the Novelette, he walked the streets of London, through the lanes and alleyways, fifteen to twenty miles at night “when all sober folks had gone to bed.” And looking back he noted, “I cried and I laughed and I cried some more.” Dickens wrote “A Christmas Carol” at age 31, and he wrote what he knew and what he had lived and was still living. Today, tours are given each Christmas season in London following the same routes that Dickens’ traveled on his walks. God bless all Bozo followers!… Michael Reardon, son of Foxo Reardon and producer of Bozo.

For the younger readers who might be wondering what’s making that ticking sound in the last panel of strip 2 — don’t worry; it’s not a bomb. Wristwatches used to tick.

The use of crystal balls as bowling balls is something that I have never before observed in a comic strip.

I find it to be a delightfully dangerous activity.
