Isn’t Sadie Hawkins Day on November 15th?
BTW, Al Capp used to be the darling of the liberal establishment in Cambridge, MA until he supported LBJ and the Vietnam War. He was ostracized after that. No more dinner parties on Brattle Street, no more sherry hours at the Harvard Faculty Club.
Rommel’s Birthday is on November 15th. I always thought Sadie Hawkins Day was February 29th [Leap Year].
I just saw in the Old Farmer’s Almanac this morning that today was Sadie Hawkins Day.I think the date is flexible...like Arbor Day.
Interesting! Your post inspired me to do some online research:
“Capp, who by all accounts was contrary and contentious by nature, was a maverick politically. He characteristically went against the grain. He was a liberal during the conservative 1950s, only to switch to conservative during the liberal, hippie-era 1960s.
... Capp began spoofing counterculture icons such as Joan Baez (in the character of Joanie Phoanie, a wealthy folksinger who offers an impoverished orphanage ten thousand dollars’ worth of “protest songs”). The sequence implicitly labeled Baez a limousine liberal, a charge she took to heart*
*(and threatened legal action,lol).
