Mondays is never moandays with Fabulous FoXo’s Brilliant BOZO!

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!

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.

1. Cop seeking bricks, as soon as they leave his hand they seek out the nearest officer.

1) oh no, the cop found me! Better run.

2) Oh, maybe I can blend in with this running crowd and the cop will lose track of me. A getaway bus! Wonder where everyone is going. Maybe a sporting event?

3) lets run through this stadium – I bet he won’t follow me. Oh, they threw a ball to me! And a bunch of HUGE guys are trying to tackle me! I wish it were just the cop again.

Careful what you wish for…. Lots dodge into this tailor shop to hide – I’m sure I have something to repair after all that scurrying.

What was it like to grow up with a cartoonist as a father?

My father had been working as a professional cartoonist for sixteen years when I was born in 1937. He had worked the last fourteen of those years as a staff cartoonist for the Richmond (Virginia) Times-Dispatch, one of the South’s leading newspapers, doing every type of cartooning: news, sports, humor, editorial, and creating a number of regularly published features, as well as working outside sketching assignments at the courts and at crime scenes.

Among his created features was Bozo, the world’s original pantomime comic strip. He created that strip at age 16 in 1921 just after being laid off as sports cartoonist at the Times-Dispatch and before being rehired in 1923.

My father worked afternoon and evening hours at the paper. I was child number six, which meant my bedtime was earlier than that of my older siblings. I remember lying awake in bed alone and afraid in the dark, and the relief I felt when Dad returned home around 9 p.m. or so, his booming voice heard throughout the house as he relayed to my mother all the events of the day at the newspaper. Obviously, any bad guys would be chased off by that voice. And that voice was usually filled with enthusiasm and excitement. So, considering the hours that he worked, he was gone most of the day during my first eight years, but his zest for life had a definite impact on me. His voice reflected all the excitement of the world. So I knew there was a lot going on out there.
