Sadie Hawkins Day commemorates the holiday in Li’l Abner, an Al Capp comic strip. The event honors the Sadie Hawkins dance where girls ask boys. On this day, girls ask boys out to a dance or date.
In the comic strip Li’l Abner, Sadie Hawkins was the daughter of Hekzebiah Hawkins, one of the earliest settlers of Dogpatch. She was perpetually waiting for a suitor. When she was 35 and still unmarried, her father called all the available men in the town to join the foot race, with marriage to Sadie as the prize for the winner. However, Sadie had her eyes on Adam Olis.
Unfortunately, Olis is already courting Theresa Richmond, the daughter of Dogpatch's most prominent potato farmer. Because it was such a good idea, the spinsters of the town decided to make Sadi Hawkins day a yearly event on the first Saturday of November, when the original ran in the comic strip.
