Bozo by Foxo Reardon for November 14, 2022

1 Bozo teaches the pup to stay.

2 Bozo’s resting on the seabed.

3 Might be time to go book shopping again Bozo.

1) Bozo is boldly going where no dog is allowed to go. Don’t worry, little Puppy, he’s not going to be away five years. ☺

2) That diving suit is so cozy… ☺

3) Bozo lost track of what he was doing… Next time ask your friend Fuzzy for assistance. ☺

∿¹ That’s a mean, low-down thing to do!

∿² Asleep in the deep below.

∿³ Once more, how low can you go?

Off Balance: It’s a good thing Bozo never encountered IKEA.

1. Bozo had a little dog, his fur was white as snow … And everywhere that BOZO went the dog was sure to go.

2. Another meaning to sleeping with the fishies.

3. Too big? Too small? If you wants furniture that’s just right for you, visit the Three Bears Store. We always got things that’s just right for ya!

…

And thus, a melancholically monotonous monday is turns into a most magnficetly marvellous monday! And why wouldn’t it, for these fabulous fun funnies called BOZO always bring great joy and sheer cheer to many every day even after so many decades and eras later since its original creation.

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

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

For those who come in late, BOZO was created by a tremendously talented FoXo Reardon in the early last century and carried on creating until an unfortunate early death in 1955. He may be lesser known but was in no way any lesser than any of the greatest cartoonists ever — his BOZO comics stand today as evidence for the same.

Never needing his characters to speak a single word to tell his funny tales, FoXo created epitomes of pictures speaking thousand words, and he created such picturesque pictures which are like pictures of a picturesque three dimensional cartoon world or realistic-looking depths and details.

FoXo gloriously told his funny tales with his awesome artwork alone, and no character needed to say a word to express the funnies, which is why me calls BOZO as wonderful wordless wonders. Take your time, relax, and see every panel to enjoy BOZO fully, me friends.

…

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 enjoyable ever excellent evergreen entertainer BOZO!

And FoXo’s mastery is also seen in last strip where he skillfully uses mini panels to increase number of panels when required to facilitate to effectively tell the funny. And not to mentions the great facial expressions and body languages of characters which along with the scene setup are the only things telling you the funny tales here.

And the first two strips today are a couple of examples for FoXo’s amazing talent of perspective artwork. FoXo uses foreground, background, and everything in between those two to create characters and elements at different focal points from the viewer and create a great three dimensional perspective. With no words or word balloons, FoXo had lotsa space for his detailed drawings and he certainly used it well to give his best for the audience.

Just look at the lovely depths and details in the first one, for example. And things in background are drawn so as to depict FoXo’s and doggie’s movement ahead.

And in second strip, notice that there are objects in foreground and people in between, and then a background. And notice that the same scene is given from different angles as if pictures of same scene was taken from different angles.

Awww! ☹️

Bozo takes a deep dive in the depths of the ocean for a nap❗️

Hmmm, when will this measure up? In Bozoz’s case, “down”! ☺️

1. Poor little pup only wants to be with you.

I have a friend who started in the Navy in 1957. He wore a Mark V diving suit like that.

1. Caged

2. Submerged

3. Banjaxed

1. Bozo’s going drinking, he doesn’t want the dog to follow because he’s afraid the dog might get trashed.

2. Sometimes you got to get away from everything to get a decent nap.

3. The chair had a “Little” wobble.

#3. Measure twice, cut once.

CANNED- Poor Poochie, so much like his master, never seems to mind. SIESTA-Maybe Bozo found Ringo Starr’s Octopuses’ Garde! (I know stretching it, at least by 60 Years. OFF BALANCE- What is the rule…measure 50 times, and cut once…or cut 50 times and measure once!

3. Bozo now has a seat of learning (what not to do). :)

3. Here’s how you really level the fourth leg: 1) set the three level legs solid on the floor. 2) measure the gap from the fourth leg to the floor. 3) take off 1/2 of measurement from the legs 90 degrees from short leg. Example: fourth leg is 1/4" short. Remove 1/8" from the legs next to it.

Bozo should talk more if he’s going to wear that shirt. People might mistake him for a mime!

1) Bozo is not in the mood!

2) Bozo never sleeps on the job! Well, almost!

3) Should have gone to the library as usual…

1) SCRAPS, GO HOME: The persistent patchwork pup is tagging along not listening to Bozo to go home. (Not speaking.) So, he keeps the dog under a wire trash basket so he can do his deal in peace. Be back soon Scraps!

2) SLEEPING WITH THE FISHES: Bozo is an incredible man of many talents, and even more skill sets which includes deep sea diving. Over time Bozo has become blasé and sleepy from over work. So, over the side he goes, down to the bottom at 1,020 ft near an outcropping of the continental shelf. So comfortable he drifts off to see the mermaids in his dreams. They all have Bozann’s face on them!

3) CUT TO FIT: One of Bozo’s reading chairs has lost a piece and now one leg is shorter than the rest. Bozo decides to cut the other 3 legs rather than adding to the one leg. Suffice it to say his eye measurements were off so around and around he saws into ever leg. Yes, and he ends it with the legs too short to him after being too long. Next time try it differently Bozo old man. The chair will last longer old bean!

1. Puppy Love 2. Calm Seazzzz 3. Repair Despair

Rise againnnnnnn, rise againnnnnnnnn!
