Sadie Hawkins Day
The site tells the history of this celebration introduced by cartoonist Al Capp in his Li'l Abner comic strip on November 15, 1937. Hekzebiah Hawkins of Dogpatch, USA, "decreed the first annual Sadie Hawkins Day, a foot race in which the unmarried gals pursued the town's bachelors, with matrimony the consequence." It was featured every November in the comic strip and the fictional holiday became a national craze observed on high school and college campuses.
