Bozo by Foxo Reardon for May 10, 2022

1 How to get out again? Bozo will mull it over during his lunch break.

2 Fortunately the bowler is mostly waterproof.

3 Bozann finally discovers the upper limits of Bozo’s strength.

3 – Ironically, the final package was a box of ‘elbow’ drinking straws.

MIX UP: ”When it starts to rain— time to raise cane.”

Is Mix Up the first time Umbrella Guy has actually used his umbrella for protection from the rain?

Bozo can pick up a safe but her packages were too much?

Rice castles. Rain cane. Last straw. Well, now we know Bozo is as strong as a camel’s back.

1 reminds me of my time at the local CBS station. The day the other two cameramen built a concrete brick wall around the weatherman while we were diverting to a weather chart. Ah, the innocent, stupid ’70s!

1) It feels that it is a real life story.

2) All the handles look alike.

3) He can lift a safe on one hand, but these packages are too much to handle!

Looking at the 3 Comics, the facial expressions tell so much of the story. FENCED IN-That smug look of Bozo working and doing it his way….even though at the end you can not see all of his face, Bozo’s eyes give him the look of a cat waiting to spring on his next “victim!” MIX UP-Bozo’s smile of satisfaction of in the first and last panels, show little bothers our hero. ONE TOO MANY-Not only Bozo’s expression of disgust in panel 2, but panel 4, that look of defeat….but you also have to look at Bozann’s expressions Panel 1 her smile of satisfaction of having her boyfriend carry her packages. Panel 2 saying we’ll be through shortly, Panel 3, her look of just one more will not hurt, Panel 4, that look of shock and innocence that her “Pack Mule” met his limit.

FOXO was so great telling a story with not only the actions but the facial expressions are as good as the characters speaking.

1. I meant to do this.

2. Umbrella Guy would be so disappointed.

3. I don’t think it was too heavy, I think Bozo reached his limit with Bozann’s shopping!

1. Whoopsie!

2. Whoopsie!

3. Whoopsie!

…

But make no mistake, these best drawn best funnies are the epitome of a picture speaking thousand words!

Drawn with fantastic finesse and splendid skills by the marvellous master cartoonist FoXo Reardon, this magnificent masterpiece of his is undoubtedly the most pleasant picturesque pantomime and an ever entertaining ever energetic ever excellent evergreen entertainer!

So here’s a big thumbs up, big applause, and three cheers once again for BOZO, which never fails to bring me splendid joy and sheer cheer!

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

1) YOU’RE SURROUNDED: Bozo working in a store display surrounds himself with boxes fencing himself in!

2) CHOOSE CAREFULLY: Bozo is leaving, and a rainstorm is starting. He chooses a walking stick by accident!

3) PILE IT ON: For the January sales Bozann buys so much that Bozo just can’t hold them all and it collapses. Better bring a bag next time!

1) Don’t play with your food, Bozo

2) The rain, with cane, falls mainly on the brain

3) Critical mass achieved, a mushroom cloud results

⓵ There’s a prize in every package display.

⓶ Bozo seems able to play with cane.

⓷ A Folger’s moment – good to the last drop!

Bozo, the comic with the most daily comments per number of followers -consistently! And without any social media help.

1. “This fort is impenetrable!”

2. “You can stand under my cane?!”

3. That’s what happens if you carry too many packages all at once.
