When is Sadie Hawkins Day? I thought it was on Feb. 29th of Leap Year. Thought there used to be Sadie Hawkins Day Dances held then... But it says here, that's not so.

Ahhhhh, but here is the reason, for my confusion....
"Although the comic strip placed Sadie Hawkins Day in November, today it has become almost synonymous with February 29."

Trying again as that needed too many fixes...
I didn't read Li'l Abner though my father supposedly went to school with a guy who grew up to be an artist who worked on this comic strip. So that's my one and only wee connection with it. And I didn't know about the Sadie Hawkins connection either.
So are you going to invite Uncle out somewhere or something? Take the reins as they say?
Yep, yep...I posted nearly the same thing on my Leap Year Day post below my watery wednesday post.....when I was in school, we always had Sadie Hawkins Dances....on FEB 29th!!!
Oh, I do remember Lil Abner...and Daisy Mae. Thanks for the reminder.

Vaguely remember Lil Abner, Auntie. I guess I noticed it cuz when I was very young I learned to draw by copying comic strips and I remember seeing Abner and Daisy Mae.
When I was 16, we had Sadie Hawkins Day at our high school IN THE FALL, and I asked my husband to go - first dance we went to. (I did NOT wear Daisy Duke butt-baring shorts.)
Happy Leap Year Day, Auntie!
i remember both but did not look at little abner or particpate in sadie hawkings day, i was way to shy
I remember the comic and Sadie Hawkins Day and the dances, it was the one time we were supposedly allowed to ask guys
I always asked though, I was ahead of my time :)
thanks for your visit
The Goatmother's connection with L'il Abner is that she was Daisy Mae in the musical version in her hometown Little Theater production. Me? I see little point in running after a guy when you could have Peanuts. :)
Loved Li'l Abner!
Seems all the Good strips are now gone!

I, of course, being the age I am, grew up reading Lil Abner...and have heard about Sadie Hawkins Day all my life, too.
I think it is unofficially connected with Leap year.
You know, my grandloves don't even know what a FUNNY BOOK is. :(
I remember the comic too. : )
I thought the same thing...hmmm we must be right...if so many think the same thing...
First of all you have the best blog layouts.. ever, Auntie! You should be a blog designer.
I am old enough to have read these hilarious comics.

You sure do make me stop and think sweet friend. We never did Sadie Hawkins.

Thanks for taking the trouble to visit and let me know that I had a word verification on my comments. I really thought it was turned off. I find it frustating to use when I want to comment and don't like it so wouldn't want others to go through that rigmarole on my site either. It is now definitely turned off.
I also remember reading Lil Abner when I was a kid, we didn't do the Sadie Hawkins thing though.

I had heard about Sadie Hawkins Day but never knew when it was. I don't think that was celebrated here in Canada, though. As for Li'l Abner I sure do remember him:-) I remember reading the comic strip in the newspaper every Saturday and my brothers had some of the comic books. Hope you had a wonderful Leap Day:-) xoxo
