His generosity astounded the bum but Bozo, seeing the prices of food, handed him a bill!
Fuzzy out on a roof, flying a kite…..
Personal note:
Growing up in the 40’s, my dad was in Germany and France with WWII.Mom and I lived upstairs from the landlady. She always fed the bums coming from the railroad tracks. Soups, sandwiches, etc. One day I was downstairs visiting her and there was a bum, at the table, eating chicken soup. After he left, I smelled an order and smelled the chair he sat in and OMG it was gross! She got upset and got a bucket of soapy water and washed down the chair. LOL. To this day, every morning and late night, I can hear the train whistle going by….memories!

3. Cash or cheque, sir? (Me first impression was that it was napkin but is it?)

BOZO always turns Woenessdays into Wonderful Wednesdays!
And why wouldn’t they be for these was created by the tremendously talented FoXo Reardon who never needed his characters to say a single word to tell his funny tales!
Fabulous FoXo told em all with his awesome artwork alone, making every panel look like a photograph of a three dimensional cartoon world of realistic-looking depths and details. Such was his powerful perspective artwork which brought to life a lovely lively world of BOZO!
FoXo a rare combination of both sharp wits and artistic talents which is rarely seen together in the same cartoonist, a true master and professional cartoonist whose work quality speaks for itself and as you can see for yourself BOZO is pure gold coming from a golden era of cartooning, an especially excellent epitome of pictures speaking thousand words!
And nothing could diminish FoXo’s work quality, not even cancer, as he continued creating brilliantly till his end days even while left with only one eye, lovely comics which is a treat to our both eyes as well as the mind.
So no wonder that these wonderful wordless wonders still bring great joy and sheer cheer to many even after so many decades and eras later too!
But friends, 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 many many more!
…
And yes, 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 enjoyable ever excellent evergreen entertainer, the brilliantly beautiful and beautifully brilliant BOZO!
BOZO 1-Bozo has some mighty good water pressure on that shower. I noticed that he really has bathtub he has to almost climb into. BOZO 2- Checking to see how much the Butcher’s Thumb weighs. BOZO 3-Might be a napkin, might be a bill, and might be an agreement to not take Bozo to court if the meal makes the Hobo sick. AH Fuzzy is having a great time…sneaking around the owner’s house, chatting with a lady with a flowerpot for a hat and flying his kite from the neighbor’s roof.
Notice the wonderful perspectives today, friends. Not many cartoonists can master perspective but FoXo mastered it seamlessly.
Now the day to day perspectives we has already seen FoXo does splendidly like you see in 2nd and 3rd strips today. Notice the 1st strip today and you’ll see a top-down sort of view, which is much rare to be seen in comics. But FoXo does this well too, as we has already seen in some earlier comics. Me not remembers exact dates they appears but there were more of such angles such as top-down views.
Although it a mystery what the mysterious Umbrella Guy and the pot on head lady does in backgrounds, me thinks they is a near way FoXo gave a great impression of perspective by placing a person or more in the background. Like for example, even though the picture is perfect in perspective with the house behind the fence behind the tramp in the 3rd strip, Umbrella Guy flying a kite on it just gives you a better impression about the depth of the scene as it makes you feel how back behind that house actually is as you get to compare the building’s size to that of the umbrella guy.
Somehow FoXo’s scenes always makes me feel great depths in them which is such a pleasure to see, which is why me calls it a most pleasant picturesque pantomime!
Reminded of the story of my Great Uncle (by marriage) Ernie’s Aunt Jenny feeding hobos soup during the Depression. Her husband was the town butcher, so she always had soup bones. They’d pay her back with baskets made from the willows that grew along a creek between the tracks and her back yard.

1. A summer shower.

3. Don’t forget to add in your tip Bozo.

1 Bozo sure gets a decent amount of water pressure in his bathtub. (Didn’t It Rain—The Belefonte Folk Singers)
2 Bozo thinks somebody isn’t giving Honest Weight. (Weigh Down Upon The Swami’s Liver—Milton Berle)
3 Service with a smile. Right Bozo? (Let’s Go Fly a Kite—Mary Poppins)

1) Quick if not accurate. I wonder if Bozo would be taller with less water pressure in his shower. ☺
2) It’s good to trust others, but not to do so is better. ㋛
3) I hope that is a napkin. I can’t believe Bozo would ask for money from that poor guy. (◍•_•◍)

1) Bozo saves time by showering the entire lawn in one fell swoop!
2) Making sure the butcher gave an honest weight.
3) Would you like a doggie bag for what you can’t finish?

1) WATERING INSIDE OUT: Seeing a neighbor watering the lawn Bozo shows he can do it from inside and with a great spread of water!
2) CHECKING THAT WEIGHT: Bozo decides checking the weight agian via outdoor weighing machine works for him!
3) DINING OUT: Bozo gives a hobo a dinner then presents him with the cost——a smile and a napkin, linen!
