Sadie Hawkins Day is one of those American “Tongue in Cheek” Folk Holidays inspired by Al Capp's classic hillbilly comic strip, “Li'l Abner” (1934–1978).
Sadie Hawkins Day was first published on November 15, 1937 in the “Li'l Abner” daily strip. It was a race where one of the character’s daughters would race the eligible bachelors of the village. If she caught him, then dragged him, kicking and screaming, across the finish line before sundown—by law he had to marry her.
This was the beginning of Sadie Hawkins dances, where girls ask boys out. While celebrated every four years (Leap Year) on February 29th, the dances can be held anytime but many are held in November following the Comic Strip’s race anniversary.
