Fridays always fabulous 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.

Spread the word, friends, so that BOZO can spread more joy and cheer to many many more!

-

And 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 thankses to Micheal Reardon for bringing BOZO back for us all!

“ Bird brain “ – Bozo just found out how drag works .

You’ll get to read about the plane crash in tomorrow’s paper.

1) The cops are getting younger and younger these days.

2) Bozo noticed the man’s dome could use a little buffing.

3) That’s why planes should have seat belts, and the pilots always keep their hands at ten-and-two.

1 Undercover cop! 2. Every dull spot gets a shine! 3. Keep at least one hand on the wheel at all times!

The shoeshine strip reminded of two things. Tom T. Hall’s “Shoeshine Man” song. Then the scene from Midnight Cowboy when Joe Buck and Ratso break open a shoeshine stand to shine Joe’s boots, but other guys keep showing up wanting a shine.

Why do you want to get the comic back out into the world?

The four saddest words in the English language are “What could have been.” I remember my dad telling my mother that he intended to do Bozo “until at least 75.” He had no intention of retiring. And he intended for the strip to continue regardless. As he once told me, “I might die, but Bozo will not die,” referring to the expectation that another cartoonist would take over Bozo at his passing.

Sadly my father died of cancer at age fifty in 1955, after a two-year battle, and his dream of continuing Bozo for another quarter century came to an end. The syndicate could not find another cartoonist who could sufficiently copy my father’s style, a style developed over a period of 34 years. There was always a loss of newspapers when another artist took over the strip temporarily when he was out sick.

Another odd sixty years went by, and then I discovered GoComics. Those saddest words “What could have been” suddenly became the hopeful words “What might yet be.”

(The above was taken from my interview with GoComics of Jumy 2021, found on the GoComics Blog below…….. Michael Reardon)

Many thanks to the two new Bozo followers who have joined the Bozo page since yesterday. Great!!
