El Mundo Futuro de BOIXCAR

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.

Everett True also stood up for those who were being bullied, and often received smiles of approval from nearby observers. His wife never put up with his belligerence, and would hurl pots, pans and sometimes his supper at him if he mouthed off at home.
Ode to NANCY
For some unexplainable reason, I’ve been collecting random Nancy panels for a while, many culled from this fine collection. I have only one paper copy I clipped long ago from the Sunday Funnies because it’s so Zen; the others were all found online by accident. I messed with one or two…
