1) Bozo’s unmatchable logic ☺️

2) Bozo’s well known skill ☺️

3) Bozo is not focused, this morning. ㋛

Hi, Fuzzy ☂️

1. The right sized ladder for the job.

2. Bozo trying to stay on target.

3. Bozo’s mechanical ability doesn’t hold any air.

1. The ladder of success.

2. Bozo is honing his skills.

3. Tired.

1᠁ Just enough left for the downstairs windows!

2᠁ Better than bullets, bricks can be reused.

3᠁ Is Bozo defeated or deflated?

1. Cuts the ladder down to size. Worker Bozo is a prize.

2. Target practice. Deadly aim. Bozo’s bricks the stuff of fame.

3. Motors along on a beautiful day. Feeling so fine until air leaks away.

1. Bozo saw that it too big.

2. Now it Bozo’s turn.

3. Driving can be tyresome sometimes.

But Fabulous FoXo’s Brilliant BOZO is never tyresome! Fabulous Fridays is always ensured.

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 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!

The second one got big guffaws from me. (Fuzzy, keep your head down going past the range, not everyone’s on target).

“ Target practice “ – This one is great . I like how Bozo put the cop hat on the target and used his own preferred ordinance . Bozo brought bricks to a cop fight !

1) What’s even better is that Bozo now has a ladder for shorter jobs!

2) Bozo needs a little target practice too!

3) What’s Bozo expecting to find, a tire pump in the motor?

Panels 1 and 3 are funny…especially #$.

Below is a short excerpt from the GoComics editors taken from their interview with me in July 2021. The entire interview can be read on the GoComics Blog below. Just click on page 4.

In late 2020, we received an email from Michael Reardon, son of the late Francis X. “Foxo” Reardon. Had we heard of his father’s early 20th-century feature called Bozo, and would we like to run the entirety of it on GoComics? Michael asked. We dug through the archives and responded with a wholehearted yes. Starting in March 2021, we welcomed Bozo—the first pantomime-style comic strip—onto the site, which Foxo Reardon penned from 1921 until his death in 1955. (We began with the first syndicated strip, which ran in 1945.) Here, Michael shares firsthand history about his father and Bozo—and why he wanted to show this “nobody” character to the world nearly a century after Foxo first created him.

1, Bozo took steps to make it right. :)

I love the clup clup sound effect of a flat tire flopping down the road and had never seen that one before, out of all the comics sound effects I have seen over the years, Foxo makes an original. :-)
