Bozo by Foxo Reardon for April 30, 2021

“Bozo vs Egghead”, 20 years before Adam West donned a cowl.

1. They deserve each other.

2. Is that a mask Old Tophat is wearing?

3. Bozo seems to switch between being homeless and living in an apartment. I hope he doesn’t end up in a cell.

1. Them expensive cigars, they may smells good, but they not strong stuff like Bozo smokes. And nobody outsmokes Bozo. Especially not you, rich snob!

2. Why that big-headed aristocrat!

3. Poor Bozo is cold and hungry. But it looks like he’ll be all warm and gets food in the jail now.

And the umbrella guy has disappeared. He was last seen in the first strip yesterday. Will he ever show up again?

Bozo has some pretty high class weed there it seems – it was still affecting him on Tuesday when the other guy went all Exorcist on him.

I know it’s not true to the era, but it would make total sense if what Bozo was smoking was not tobacco.

1. The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

2. Top hat is top heavy.

3. Well, the welcome mat “was” out.

Not sure I can make it through the day, with no Umbrella Guy! Guess I will spend the day hunting Waldo!

Hmm…

1. The annoying as hell rich guy is not used to the less refined, harsher tobaccos that make up the less expensive cigars that Bozo smokes. This rich guy was truly uncouth and annoying. Even though it is not nice to “return fire” to another’s bad actions…. I cannot fault Bozo much for this…. I too would be annoyed.

2. The “Top-Hat” fellow…. hmm… he threw the first pitch…. not particularly nice. And… even though his had remained in position following Bozo’s return fire….. I suspect in the end… he loses out…. his brain absorbed the impact injury, whereas Bozo only had his hat displaced. It would indeed be rough to have that fellows head shape.

3. Bozo was hungry… both intellectually (the newspaper) and physically (the food). I feel sad for the home-owner who loses some of his order…. but in the greater scheme… it is a good attribute to feed the hungry… especially those less fortunate. I just wish Bozo could have/would have asked first. :) The cop is quizzical…. but will he investigate further to see if Bozo lives there or no?

One of the things I am especially liking about how these comics are presented is the comic’s title….. I am wondering if they were added in after the fact here for us readers, or if it was a part of the original publication byline? I am suspecting they are add ins… as the date would most assuredly be as well…. but then I also wondering if perhaps Foxo actually did title his comics at least in his home library of the proofs/originals? I am thinking he likely did, because some of the titles do seem to be more of the original era than they would be if added newly today.

Bozo’s gotta eat.
