1. 2. 3. Caught you.

1 Guess what Bozo’s having for dinner.

2 Bozo’s own production of ‘A Night at the Opera’.

3 Bozo finally got that ball away from the dog. Score!

1) Gotcha, Lady. And give more space and water to that poor little thing!

2) Now you are partners. Another Odd Couple. ☺

3) Double ball? That’s confusing. ☺

I’m not sure I get the third one.

Also, was this a time when you needed to actually touch the ball down, rugby style, to score a touchdown? Rather than just break the plane?

1• I see … I see … I see, oh, you’re having fish for dinner!

2• Is that Gilbert or Sullivan offering a contract?

3• Aaand, Bozo gets the score!

The Old Maid playing Fish with Bozo!

Unexpected discovery of talent!

Gel outta hear you Bozo, dis is my play! ☺️☺️☺️

1) Bozo knew there was something fishy about this swami.

2) Do the chase five nights a week and twice on Sundays?

3) Who scored the touchdown?

1) Well my actual crystal ball is at the repair shop…

2) So convincing acting!

3) Hey man! We are on the same team!

1. Bozo put a little light on this scam.

2. A star is born.

3. The old extra ball on the play trick.

Fish tale. For sale. It’s a tie. Apparently, if you act like a cop and you can make it on stage, they will reward you.

1. Bozo knews there was something fishy with this soothsaying racket.

2. See folks? Me always said that Bozo’s such a great entertainer!

3. Bozo got backup ball just in case.

…

With these wonderful wordless wonders called BOZO, me Woenessdays is turns into Wonderful Wednesdays!

And why wouldn’t they? For this is created by a tremendously talented creative genius called FoXo Reardon whose rare combination of wits and artistic talents is something that you don’t easily see in comics.

Have you seen anyone else doing so many splendidly done comics where artwork alone is what is telling the funny tales? Even in popularly knows pantomime comics at least one character or the other has says something.

And the quality of artwork here is of splendid quality which is rarely seen in daily gag a day funnies. Especially when it’s the artwork and artwork alone that’s doing the work of telling the funny tales here.

So what is this except an excellent epitome of picture speaking thousand words? Also the pictures here are like photographs of some three dimensional cartoon world of realistic-looking depths and details. Such spledid perspective artwork is rarely seen in daily funnies.

Any way you see it, it is unbelievable that despite being such a great classic of great creative calibre, both BOZO and FoXo still remain mostly unknown and unrecognised today.

Now here on Go Comics, thanks to FoXo’s son Micheal Reardon and Go Comics, BOZO comes like a fresh fragrant breeze even after so many decades and era later and brings great joy and sheer cheer to many here.

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

…

And yes of course 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!

#1- The Gypsy’s ball predicts Bozo will have luck fishing. #2- Bozo & Buttons new stars of the stage. #3- Number 10 scored the touchdown, Bozo went for 2 and scored.

1. Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves 2. Police on My Back 3. Sometimes When We Touch

It was on this day, November 30, in 1955 that Foxo Reardon, the creator of the world’s first successful pantomime comic strip, and a professional cartoonist for 34 years, passed away at age 50.

Today GoComics listed on its site the dozens of tributes made by GoComics Creators to Charles Schulz on his 100th birthday. Bozo, though not listed, shared in that tribute. As the producer of Bozo, I posted these words on Bozo’s page on that 100th birthday: “Charles Schulz: November 26, 1922 – November 26, 2022. A great cartoonist who brought immeasurable joy and cheer to countless millions.”

1) BY THE LIGHT: Bozo will illuminate the crystal ball to find? A fish in the bowl!

2) CONTRACT HAS BEEN MADE: Another copper is after Bozo probably for A & B (brick) when Bozo ducks into a stage entrance and is followed by O’Brian across the stage. Well in the end do you want to sign the contract gentlemen?!

3) DOUBLE TOUCH DOWN?: Dongle bungles it again; in this version of football (N. American) he must touch the ground with the ball. Bozo has a ball of his own and makes the touchdown!
