El Mundo Futuro de BOIXCAR
[via Google Translate:]
BOIXCAR, the Pop Monarch of Space
It was high time we started to clear their minds of all the false information that the usual official critics have been dumping on their naive minds regarding the comics’ past from this Celtiberian homeland.
To this end, the first guest of the new section […] is the idolized cartoonist of the Spanish comic book of the 1950s, Don Guillermo Sánchez Boix, alias Boixcar.
The most conspicuous representatives of What Good Taste Should Be have heaped various kinds of fame on him, denouncing him as subculturally and aesthetically aberrant. Their hatred has only increased because they know he’s the author of the moral melodramas that you’ve been told are fascist. No, no. Just another lie they’ve fed you. A lifetime of putting up with vocational inquisitors, oh my…
The stigma attached to him, as to his entire generation, is that he worked in the lowest-level media, handling the flesh of cheap comics, extracting their pulp and juice. Precisely what I consider a virtue, as do all of you if you’re people of taste. And being fascist, and pernicious, and practicing uninteresting comics. Pure lies.

ALCOHOL AND YOU (28 minutes, color, 1969). Produced by Max Miller for Avanti Films, Bailey-Film Associates, Los Angeles, California:
“This film establishes that young people are growing up in a drinking society in which it is easy for them to slip into the attitudes and drinking patterns of the one-in-fifteen drinkers who become alcoholic. Well known physicians provide concrete illustrations of the health hazards and emphasize that excessive drinking will produce the same physiological and social deterioration as alcoholism.”

Very little can be found about Anita the Elephant Girl on the internet.
A defunct website may have had a biography of sorts but I couldn’t find an archive of the article: “Anita The Elephant-Faced Girl: Embracing Uniqueness and Overcoming Challenges.”
