Bozo by Foxo Reardon for August 14, 2022

1 Looks like Bozo is on the skids again this Christmas. Sorry Bozann.

2 St Nicholas IS known as the patron saint of thieves, among others.

3 Oh well, it will probably make lawn mowing easier next Spring.

1. Don’t look at Bozo with such grief

At least it is no hand-kerchief

2. He sees you when you’re fleeing

He knows what you did make

He hides you in his bag, oh good

‘Cause he knows what’s here at stake

3. O Christmas Boz, O Christmas glee

How funny are thy frolics…

1. Now here’s something affordable!

2. The day Santa saved Bozo.

3. Bozo so loveable, ain’t he.

P.S : And if you thinks the 3rd strip today is just a nice one with no gag, then look closely at last panel again. FoXo the master cartoonist does it so splendidly subtly.

BOZO is best enjoyed while you relax and take some time to see every panel. The wonderful wordless wonders by FoXo is always a treat to the eyes and the mind. Humour heals better than any medicine, friends. And humour is always best when they is drawn so splendidly by a master of perspective artwork.

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 excellent evergreen entertainer BOZO!

But despite being a great classic of great calibre, neither BOZO nor FoXo are much known or remembered these days.

BOZO beings me great joy and sheer cheer every day. Spread the word, friends, so that BOZO can spread more joy and cheer to more!

1 Bozo has a budget and not a big one!

2 Bozo and Santa make a great team.

3 It’s the thought that counts, until it’s discovered.

1. Let’s look at something I can afford.

2. Bozo’s been good, cause you can’t fool Santa!

3. Bozo got a good deal on a tree, but it will cost him.

Limited ROI. Saint Not-Nicked. Here’s your tree. Love is free but relationships take a lot of work and family is a really big investment.

1) Finding a gift that doesn’t require an extended payment plan!

2) Thanks for the hiding place, Kris!

3) It’s the thought that counts, but you still need to dispose of the evidence!

1. Impatient!

2. Hidden!

3. Rewarded!

HINTS- To quote our Hero, “Ah Bozann Baby, even these beautiful hankies would make you look good, anything else would only clash with your beauty!” (Ah the days of Seamed Nylon Hose!) IN THE BAG-An early gift from Santa! CHRISTMAS TREE- Bozo better be glad he got that Kissy Kissy, because his LOVE BATTING RATING is going down…Kerchiefs, and a freshly cut Christmas Tree from Bozann’s front yard!

Sometimes Bozanne seems to be his girlfriend, and sometimes she seems to be a stranger, am I correct? Also, why are the cops always chasing Bozo?

1. That’s a pretty serious relationship. Or not.

2. Santa has a new elf?

3. Bozo has her stumped. What a sap.

1) SUGGESTIONS: While window shopping Bozo hints about a present!

2) SANTA’S LITTLE HELPER HELPED: On the run yet another policeman chase this time Santa helps him. Bozo is happy!

3) EXTRA XMAS GIFT: Bringing the Xmas tree home Bozann gives Bozo a kiss for it!

Many think that if comedy isn’t new or modern that it is of diminished value. I think that the opposite is closer to the truth. Where have all the great comedians gone: Milton Berle, Jimmy Durante, George Gobel, Bob Hope, Red Skelton, Flip Wilson, Jack Benny, Jerry Lewis, Don Rickles, Jackie Gleason, and so many more? There were never greater comedians than they. The same can be said of the truly great classic cartoonists. Their work can’t and won’t be surpassed, no matter how modern or “new” be those that follow. The Golden Age of Cartooning, the ’30s, ’40s, and ’50s, was just that: golden.

The above quote is from my interview with GoComics. To read the entire interview, please click the GoComics Blog below and scroll down a bit. And thank you for following Bozo.

Random axe of agriculture.

Orson Bean told of a young man and his girl, walking downtown at night. She sees a pair of shoes and says “Ooh! I’d love a pair like that!” He says “No problem, baby!” and pulls a brick out and heaves it through the window and scoops up the shoes for her. They walk on, and she sees a necklace, and same thing—he pulls out a brick, glass breaks, and she has a necklace. They get to a furrier, and she starts to exclaim over a mink in the window, and he finally says “Hey! You think I’m made of bricks??”

1. Broke

2. Sacked

3. Swacked

Strip 1 panel 4 ladies hankies. Some of those ladies silk hankies from 20’ thru 40’s now worth several hundred dollars. My Granny (dad’s mom) had several from that time as gifts from her children. Passed while I was in Air Force and never knew what happened to all her “treasures”
