1. Sadie
Hawkins
Day

2. Celebration
National Sadie Hawkins Day is the ideal moment to
serve up your courage and ask that person you’ve
ever wanted to be invited out by, no matter what
your gender brands are. The most harmful that can
occur is they say no; if they say yes, you’ve got a
brand-new relationship!
Become the pursuer

3. Celebration
You’d be celebrating the day, contrarily, but
that’s okay. Change only arrives when we operate
toward it. Knock out a note to the editor, a social
media post, or even a short story to explain why
“traditional” roles are passé.
Write up some criticism.

4. Celebration
Are swing dance lessons and contra dances still
something? Go online and look up the media in
your village or municipality and find out. Catch a
match or go it alone, and hit the parquet to be
invited to foot and ask somebody to dance—no
need for politics or self-imposed tightness when
the beat hits you.
Go to a dance.

5. Why We Love National Sadie
Hawkins Day
It tells us about how things used to be
• The fact that the basic assumption of the Sadie
Hawkins storyline is that a female should be
wedded to a man by a particular age tells us how
other items lived 60 years ago.
• It would be absurd today for a friend or family
partner to put that type of stress on a valued one.
• Today, we can remember how far the struggle for
parity of all kinds has reached while at the exact
time realizing how much job is yet to be
accomplished.

6. Why We Love National Sadie
Hawkins Day
It’s a part of the sequential art narrative
Comic-book fans can look at “Li’l Abner” and see the
support and origins of the superhero readers they
love today. Sequential art has a rich past — one that’s
worth exploring.

7. Why We Love National Sadie
Hawkins Day
It’s a lark
There’s nothing incorrect with scrambling up the bank within boundaries. It’s fun to invite
someone you admire privately and even more fun to be approached by someone who nicely
respects you. Occasionally when life tosses you a curveball, you can make a hit.

9. Facts
Do you like musicals?
In 1956, “Li’l Abner” was adapted into a
Broadway musical that included a
dance number called ‘The Sadie
Hawkins Ballet.’
On the silver screen
“Li’l Abner” was created into a movie
twice — once in 1940 and again in 1959
— the latter starred characters like Julie
Newmar, Carmen Alvarez, and Jerry
Lewis.
All in good fun
There were numerous caricatures of the
“Abner” strip, like “Fearless Fosdick” —
a strip within the strip — and “Jack
Jawbreaker,” many of which are
considered to have influenced Harvey
Kurtzman when he made “Mad” in
1952.
Ahead of the curve
At its prime readership, “Li’l Abner”
reached 70 million Americans every
day — and that’s when the U.S. people
were only 180 million!

10. Facts
Going out with a bang
Al Capp’s retirement was an occasion in itself, with
“People” publication directing a feature and the “New
York Times” — which did not publish funny strips —
saving a whole carrier.

12. Timeline
1909
A Star is Born
Alfred Gerald Caplin who would
subsequently assume the pen name Al
Capp was born in New Haven,
Connecticut, to Otto Philip Caplin and
Matilda (Davidson) Caplin.
1937
A Radical Idea
The first Sadie Hawkins report
appears in Al Capp’s “Li’l Abner”
comic strip.
1939
Any Press is Good Press
“Life” magazine gets Sadie
Hawkins into the national
spotlight with a two-page
spread.
1934
The Start of a Long Career
The first “Li’l Abner” comic strip is
published in daily American, Canadian,
and European newspapers, with the color
Sunday version to appear six months later.

13. Breaking Society’s
Rules
• The comic strip became so popular that
villages and colleges around the country
began reporting their own Sadie Hawkins Day
and collecting Sadie Hawkins Dances, where
women could hurt the societal rules of the day
and ask men out.
• In numerous ways, the day evolved a way for
women to evolve assertive and take their
courtship options into their hands.
• Only men were predicted to ask ladies on a
date or offer a wedding during its publication.
A woman doing that was often thought too
forward and of ordinary morals.

comes to celebrating Sadie
Hawkins Day

15. Why is it called
Sadie Hawkins?
The name Sadie Hawkins arrives
from a cartoonist called Al Capp,
who made the favorite comic "Lil'
Abner." The comic was set in a
hillbilly village called Dogpatch and
sooner reached out in 1934. Sadie
lived as the daughter of Hekzebiah
Hawkins and lived marked the
"hideous gal in all them hills."

17. What Happens At A Sadie Hawkins
Dance?
The concept is a dance where girls
ask their desired date to a dance, as
opposed to the gender conventional
guys asking out their dates. While
in the 50s, this may have been a big
deal, now, girls ask their crushes to
dance ALL the time, and it's
seriously NBD.

20. Leap Day
Long ago, Leap Day, also known as “Ladies’ Day” or “Ladies’
Privilege,” was the only period when women were free to submit
to men. A similar tradition is associated with February 29 in leap
years. It is believed that this event may have been established on
a Scottish law in the 1200s or an Irish legend, but no one
understands.

22. All across the United States, dances are organized on
Sadie Hawkins Day. It is customary for young women to
then ask a young man of their choice to go to this dance.
However, in areas where no such dance is organized,
women should go ahead and feel free to grab the initiative
and ask the man of their choice out on a date.
