Sadie Hawkins Day is an American folk event and pseudo-holiday originated by Al Capp's hillbillycomic stripLi'l Abner (1934–1977).
The annual comic strip storyline inspired real-world Sadie Hawkins events, the premise of which is that women ask men for a date or dancing. "Sadie Hawkins Day" was introduced in the comic strip on November 15, 1937; the storyline ran until the beginning of December.[1] The storyline was revisited the following October/November,[2] and inspired a fad on college campuses.
By 1939, Life reported that 201 colleges in 188 cities held a Sadie Hawkins Day event.[3]
