Bozo by Foxo Reardon for February 28, 2023

Panel #1 of strip #1 presents BOZO’s right eye as more like an ellipse or a vertical oblong shape. It startled me because BOZO’s typical eye image is a dot.

That’s the only sense I can make of the strip. It has boggled my mind beyond the right eye thing.

Below all that, xmas just isn’t my thing. But the drawings are nice.

1) Bozo, be aware that mail doesn’t get teleported. ☺

2) Bozo saved by the bell… Santa’s bell ☺

3) Harvesting time for Bozo. (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠

Fuzzy, I miss you. ♥

1 Bozo was expecting elves to pick up his Christmas Cards. (Please Mr Postman—the Marvelettes)

2 Gee Bozann, if you want a sable under your tree, let me introduce you to someone who can help. (Santa Baby—Eartha Kitt)

3 And you thought Charlie Brown’s Christmas tree looked skimpy. (Before the Parade Passes By—Hello Dolly)

∿¹ Bozo thwarts another Christmas Card mail theft!

∿² Bozann’s Christmas wish list is more suited for a professional gift giver.

∿³ Bozo’s gaily gathering gifts as he goes!

A case of mistaken identity…

Bozann is giving Santa a run down of her Christmas list, scaring Bozo off…

Looks like Bozo snagged a few gifts for under the tree…..

1. Gone postal

2. Skulking

3. Package harvesting

In the middle one she brought up marriage.

1. For Bozo, the postman only knocks down once.

2. Bozo introduces Bozann to the middle man.

3. Bozo fishing for gifts.

Bozo, I was once in a relationship with a curvy blonde, she thought I was Santa. Wasn’t worth it.

1. Steals me post eh. Takes that!

2. So you wants gifts eh. Well, here’s the one who gets you gifts.

3. Bozo has his gifts crowdsourced.

…

For those who come in late, these fabulous fun funnies was envisioned and executed so brilliantly by FoXo that you wouldn’t even realise that this was around a month or so before FoXo succumbed to cancer, when he left with only one eye too. What a splendid professional FoXo was, whose early death was a great loss to not only cartooning but to art itself, as he 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!

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!

1) Tut tut, Bozo, the mailman’s just trying to do his job!

2) Sorry Bozann, those are a little out of my range, but I’m sure this gentleman will hope you.

3) Bozo gets more free presents that way!

1) Return to Sender – Elvis 2) Bad Sneakers – Steely Dan 3) The ‘In’ Crowd – Bryan Ferry or Ramsey Lewis

3. Bozo racks up some gifts. :)

1) No, the mail does not travel under ground Bozo!

2) See you after Christmas!

3) Going upstream, you sometimes make catches!

1) CONFUSION OVER MAILING: Bozo sends off a multitude of Xma’s cards. Then perturbed when the postal agent picks them up. Bozo takes them and puts them back into the postal box!

2) SNEAK AWAY SHOPPER: Bozann wants furs, he needs to purchase it without her knowing so a street Santa helps him.

3) SUBCONSCIOUS CROWD SHOPPING: Bozo carrying a hat tree through a crowd of shoppers and accidentally snags a few in the limbs!

I guess no Bozo today. (sniff, sniff, wipe teardrop away)

Oh come on. At least not hides some BOZO strips from us on reruns. There be no way for us to see them otherwise.

And yes it has to be NO BOZO DAY today didn’t it, on a WOENESSDAY.

To say these missing Bozo strips is tiresome is a gross understatement. If it continues, I will take Bozo elsewhere in the future. It’s been going on since last May. M. Reardon, Producer of Bozo.

I quit cigars a few years ago, I felt it was burning $10 bills. But seeing Bozo enjoy them makes me think maybe I’ll try some less expensive stogies. Above Swisher Sweets, but below the Punch I used to enjoy.

I don’t get the second strip. Why’s he sneaking away?

Because he doesn’t want to buy that expensive fur coat for Bozanne.
