Your history lesson for the day. The idea of a Sadie Hawkins dance originated in a comic strip called Li’l Abner, set in the town of Dogpatch, where the dad of a girl who didn’t catch a husband, gathered all the single men of Dogpatch and let the single women chase them, marrying whoever they caught. Probably no marrying going on now, but a lot of fun to say the least.
