From left-to-right : Bozann, Umbrella Guy, and Bozo

It was terrible times during lockdown days in 2021 when me is finds a unknown classic gem called BOZO! It not take long before it become me favourite comics, and for good reasons.

There is good reason, and you will knows why when you sees BOZO for yourself that why me gives a big thumbs up, big applause, and three cheers each time 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!

It is true that a picture speaks a thousand words and what better example than the splendid pictures drawn by FoXo which indeed tells the funny tales without saying a word!

It’s no easy job to tell a tale or make a gag with only pictures and no speech. And to do it with such skilled artwork with depths and perspectives, a great work art indeed. Art in its purest form, where pictures speak thousand words. Such a joy to read lovely Bozo comics.

The quality of artwork 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.

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.

Do not takes my word for it. See BOZO on Go Comics for yourself, and sees for yourself! And you only has to see Bozo and bearly read Bozo!

But Fabulous FoXo's Brilliant Bozo, a genuine gem classic comics is still unfortunately unknown to many.

...

For those who come in late, these fabulous fun funnies called BOZO was envisioned and executed so beautifully and brilliantly by FoXo Reardon, a true master cartoonist who told his funny tales with his awesome artwork alone, without any of his characters in BOZO ever saying a single word.

Bozo is the first pantomime-style comic strip, was created by the cartoonist Francis X. Reardon (with the pen name Foxo Reardon, or FoXo Reardon), who penned it beginning from 1921, until his death in 1955. Bozo is called America's original pantomime comic strip. (See more on Bozo's ABOUT page on Go Comics). There's even a Wikipedia page for Bozo.

An especially excellent epitome of pictures speaking thousand words, BOZO also the most pleasant picturesque pantomime where every panel is 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 was 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!

BOZO is pure gold coming from a golden era of cartooning! More about FoXo and BOZO in the About page.

So no wonder that these wonderful wordless wonders still bring great joy and sheer cheer to many even today.

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 many many more!

...

And yes of course many thanks to Micheal Reardon, son of FoXo, for bringing BOZO back for us all!
