November 2, 2009Sadie Hawkins Day, Capp & Life Magazine
How many holidays can you name that were inspired by a comic strip? Wellm one you might know is Sadie Hawkins Day, which was invented in the Andy Capp strip in Life Magazine. Andy Capp's Lil Abner comic strip first mentioned Sadie Hawkins day in 1937, and only a few years later it had swept the country as a favorite holiday, inviting women too chase men down and ask them on dates, which back then was never done. Nowadays those gender roles are a little looser, but some people still celebrate Sadie Hawkins day almost 75 years after Andy Capp birthed it in Life Magazine...

Andy Capp was the supposedly English comic strip character. Al Capp drew "Lil' Abner." (Where's a Shmoo when you need one??) Posted by: Rhiannnonn at November 2, 2009 7:03 AM L'il Abner was not created by Andy Capp, you nincompoop. It was created by Al Capp. Get your history straight before you post it.
