Bozo by Foxo Reardon for September 25, 2022

Cheap leather helmets!

1 Welcome to the party Bozo,

2 Might as well keep the brass shiny, right Bozo?

3 Like that would stop Bozo.

1. I see that metaphorical, bro

It says: “Hats off to Bozo!”

2. Sunshine, shoeshine both of it

Should be maintained and practiced all the time

For the first we have no influence a bit

As for the other go on till you’re prime

3. To the ground goes fullback Boz

To the ground goes fullback Boz

Tackled with the pill in hands when without helmet he was

Cries the coach to fullback Boz

Commencing touchdown, engines on

Watch out collision and may God′s love be with you

Ten, Twelve, Twenty-four and more yards, time out!

1) Bozo, Bozo… :-)

2) C’mon, people, help Bozo and the economy! Fuzzy, be careful. :-*

3) Not the best possible decision. (⁠+⁠_⁠+⁠)

1/ But, but, you never take off your hat!

2/ Nobody wears dark shoes anymore.

3/ The famous crush play. Oof!

(((((((GASP)))))))). ….as if they won’t know who made room for HIS hat…

Rub-a-dub….keep on shining…at least the metal will have a shiny gleem!

NOOOOOO! Leave the helmet, take the ball and RUN!

1. Cascade

2. Enactment

3. Safety

1) We’re gonna need a bigger hatrack.

2) Might as well get some practice in, so he doesn’t get rusty.

3) Bozo, next time, fasten your chinstrap!

Wasn’t it good Claude Rains showed up?

1. Well what do you know, Bozo found a spot for his hat!

2. Got to shine something.

3. And yet, somehow, I expect Bozo not to be at the bottom of that pile.

1. Me would gives a hats off to Bozo anyways!

2. Dang! These pedestals shouldn’t get rusty!

3. And another hats off again to Bozo!

…

And a hats off to the tremendously talented master of perspective artwork FoXo Reardon, who creates a beautiful three dimensional cartoon world of depth and details, where every panel is like a picture of this cartoon world where you can actually feel the three dimensional depths in every scene.

Just notice how masterfully FoXo made the second comic strip above, where you can see Bozo and his shoe-shining seat is pictures from different angles in each of the four panels. Any other cartoonist would’ve typically shown this scene in the same angle in all the panels. But the master FoXo always went the extra mile and put the extra effort using his splendid talent of picturing a scene.

Whether you agree or not, comics is irrefutably a medium of expressing a subject (whether humour or anything else) primarily through artwork. Without pictures, a comic is not a comic but is just some paragraphs of texts.

And FoXo excels in telling his funny tales with artwork alone and none of his characters need to utter a word. A true pantomime and a true epitome of picture speaking thousand words!

Even after so many decades and era, BOZO still comes like a fresh fragrant breeze still bringing splendid joy and sheer cheer!

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 more!

…

And yes of course me gives another big thumbs up, big applause, and three cheers once again for the marvellous master cartoonist FoXo’s magnificent masterpiece, the most pleasant picturesque pantomime, the ever entertaining ever energetic ever excellent evergreen entertainer BOZO!

1) GIVE ME A PLACE TO HANG MY HAT: Bozo finds the hat tree is full. So, he forces his way to be making a place for his straw hat knocking off others!

2) DON’T STOP NOW: Bozo the shoe buffer and shiner has no clients. So, to keep busy he shines up the place to put the shoes. He gains attention!

3) DON’T STOP: Bozo has the ball and is running then his leather helmet flies off. He hesitates just long enough for the opposing team to pile it on him!

1. Hats off!

2. Just like Andy Dwyer from “Parks and Recreation”. (He shined shoes before he assisted Leslie Knope.)

3. All that fuss over a football.
