Olive Oyl for President

. . . Popeye was all for Olive, this picture documents. What guy would not back Olive, given her promise to provide herds of scantily-clad floozies leaping over gentlemen suffering from insomnia in a new federally guaranteed shut-eye program? When this proposal was screened in 1948, the actual Real Life Rosie-the-Riveter type American women were being strongly encouraged to set their welding masks aside in order to tend the cribs of the upcoming Baby Boom Crowd. After all, the surviving male inhabitants of our U. S. Homeland were mostly back from their World War Two tours overseas, and needed to resume bringing home the bacon as heads of their happy homes. Therefore, serving as sleep aids for the victorious hero-laden masculine gender was a perfect job assignment for all those ladies who had stayed put, safely confined to the Home Front.
