Li'l Abner Comics #6 (66)
In "How Sadie Hawkins Day Started," Al Capp spins a whimsical tale set in the quirky town of Dogpatch, where Daisy Mae ventures beyond the hills to serve a soup line, while Pappy Yokum leads a surprisingly unimpressive defense against a swarm of turnip termites. With all the signature humor and exaggerated charm of Al Capp’s original comic, this 1948 issue offers a delightful glimpse into the origins of a beloved local tradition, all drawn and lettered by the creator himself. The cover by Al Capp captures the zany spirit of the story with its bold, expressive style.
