Lola Granola
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lola Granola was a fictional character in the comic strip Bloom County by Berke Breathed.
Lola, a free spirited hippie and abstract artist, was the unlikely fiancée of Opus the Penguin. Their polar opposite personalities clashed almost immediately; Opus disliked her art, abhorred her vegetarianism, and was horrified to learn that she had a tattoo of Dan Fogelberg in a "scandalous" place. (Opus humorously got the name wrong, calling him 'Dan Fogelburp.') He also once showed up to meet her mother and pastor while dressed in his costume for his heavy metal band Deathtöngue. Lola grudgingly shaved her legs because Opus was getting rugburn when they danced, which caused her "Dead Head" membership to be revoked.
After a long-awaited wedding, Opus was knocked out when his nose collided with Lola's when they kissed. While unconscious, Opus dreamed about Lola leaving him 20 years later with 23 tube-grown kids. Opus demanded annulment due to incompatible noses and Lola was spoiled from all birds for the rest of her life (Tweety Bird later tried to get her out on a date, but she refused).
As Bloom County ended, Opus met with her once more, at which point she revealed that she wanted to go on to pose in Playboy.
She did not appear in Outland, and has not appeared in Opus.
