Bozo by Foxo Reardon for May 29, 2023

Memorial day folks. All gave some. Some gave ALL. Thank you all for your service. Salute!And BOZO is still serving. Thank you SIR!

1. “You Dirty Rat!”

1) Leave that poor thing alone, Bozo; you have bigger “fish to fry” ☺ – Fuzzy on Bozo’s wall ♡

2) Bozo and Fuzzy both going down under an umbrella☁️ ☺

3) You tried, Bozo. Not your fault she’s hard to please ☺

1• It looks like Bozo is ambidextrous.

2• Bozo brought a parachute just in case of rain. I hope that plane doesn’t hit anyone.

3• Some kids are never satisfied.

1. Ratty, set, go! (to hell, ya smell!)

Or RATher call the cops that crime stops? Well, well…

2. Today it’s raining cats and dogs – and Bozos, too as we can see from far

But he didn’t get a drop on his cigar

You ask me why did that work for that “fall guy”?

Weeell, the parachute kept him and his humor dry…(Oh my!)

3. A balloon is neither rat nor weasel

But “pop” it goes when shot with a rock

Out from great Foxo’s brush and easel

1 Crack-shot Bozo takes the small menace out first, with a second bullet at the ready in case the masked marauder fails to give back the purse. (Hit Me With Your Best Shot—Pat Benatar)

2 Umbrella Guy prefers the old-fashion way. (Jump—Van Halen)

3 Crack-shot Bozo wonders why some people are never happy. (Up, Up, And Away—Fifth Dimension)

1. Bozo to the rescue.

2. Bozo is always prepared.

3. Stop yer crying kid, here’s your balloon.

I can just picture Bozos onesy…red flannel with the trap door in the back! LOL

Bozos reaction surprised both…only his aim was off…..Bada bang!

Bozos descent was electrifying but the parachute saved the day…and him!

As hard as he tries, Bozo never gets it quite right…bada ping!

Fuzzy’s always there…observing…

1.) Different times. Her fur coat would likely have been more valuable than anything in her purse.

1. Protection priorities.

2. Parachute weather

3. Dissatisfied kid

3) Let me eliminate the witness here, then I’ll flatten the robber!

2) Jumping out of a disabled plane, Bozo opens his parachute in time to avoid a downpour.

1) Will the cop let Bozo off if he buys the kid a new balloon?

(Note the dates are in reverse order, hence the numbers are reversed) ;-)

Wrong rat – one down one to go.

WRONG RAT- OK Bozo is not one to be woke up out of a winter’s nap by a scream. Plus if you think about it, this robber is well dressed compared to the Friendly Neighborhood Thief. But a RAT IS A RAT (with exception to Mickey!) WEATHER CHANGE- At first I thought Bozo was jumping from a perfectly good airplane, but the SPUT SPUT, says he possible did the right thing. Well with a stogie and a parachute (and possible instructions from Fuzzy) we guess Bozo did the right thing. CRACK SHOT-Our Poor Hero is having problems with “Quick Draw!” OK Buttons, what law has our Hero broken now.

With it being Memorial Day, but staying with FOXO’s Characters, I look at Bozo and Fuzzy and see survivors that made it home, but like Fuzzy and a lot of warriors, sometimes they “DID NOT MAKE IT HOME!” A life of Night Terrors, days of starring at nothing, tantrums, what ever….they made it home, but like those fallen members of sacrifice, they are still NOT HOME. God be with all our Military and their families.

1. Bozo not waste bullet on big one. He will has pleasure of clobbering him with his hands.

2. Who need umbrella when has parachute.

3. Eh how’d ya likes a parachute instead, kid?

…

For those who come in late, these fabulous fun funnies was envisioned and executed so beautifully and brilliantly by FoXo Reardon, a true master cartoonist who 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! More about FoXo and BOZO in the About page.

So no wonder that these wonderful wordless wonders still bring great joy and sheer cheer to many even today.

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, 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!

And yes of course many thanks to Micheal Reardon for bringing BOZO back for us all!

Strip #3: I remember when my daughter was 4 years old and I had just returned from work and about to pull into my driveway when I saw her looking exactly like the girl in panel one, with her balloon flying away over her head and her arm in the air and with her crying. I then made a 20 mile round trip to get her another helium filled balloon. Since then, she was good enough to reward me with six beautiful and healthy grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

1) I Don’t Like Mondays – Boomtown Rats 2) Umbrella – Rihanna 3) 99 Luftballons – Nena

1) CRACK SHOT: A woman screams as a bandit threaten her with a pistol. Bozo hops out of bed pistol in hand goes to the street and shoots a rat between the lady’s legs and totally misses the masked criminal!

2) WHEN IT RAINS…: Plane engine trouble Bozo bails out and as he floats down a spring storm blows in. Safe but wet.

3) WRONG ANSWER: Bozo finds a girl crying over her helium balloon getting away. He shoots it to bring it down and the child cries HARDER!!!

(1) This is why I never undertake any important task immediately upon waking up — gotta have the coffee first.

(2) Parachute doing double duty.

(3) Well, he did get the kid’s balloon back . . .
