POPEYE-OLIVE OIL WEDDING PLANNED FOR JUNE

Oooooooh…Popeye….

(Telluride) Comic book icons Popeye T. Sailor and Olive Oil have announced that they will be wed at the local yacht club sometime during this year’s Bluegrass Festival.

“It’s about time after a 80-year affair,” squinted the sailor, pipe dangling from his oversized lips. “I figured it was about time to make an honest woman of Olive.”

Oil will wear the combined ensemble of peasant dress and work boots that has become her standard over the decades. Her hair will be in a conservative bun accentuated by loop earrings. Her intended will be dressed in his sailor suit.

“Popeye is concerned about the removal of several erotic tattoos,” whined best man/caterer Wimpy (no last name given), “that he got in Singapore during the war.”
In a surprise announcement it was learned that U.S. former Attorney General Janet Reno would stand in as maid of honor. She and her current beau, Bluto, will fly into Montrose they day of the nuptials on their way to a gun show in Grand Junction.

The newly weds plan to spend their hideaway honeymoon on the Gunnison near Delta where a new crop of experimental spinach is about to pop. They plan to have a large family
