Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Main Claimant to the fickle hearted Abner is Daisy Mae, the blonde beauty of the hills. Li'l Abner, however, won't have anything to do with her. This time Daisy Mae has promised to catch Clamwinkle McSlop, the town's most ineligible bachelor, or he threatens to blow himself to bits. Sadie Hawkins Day, inspired by Li'l Abner, which appears daily in The Star, has become a national institution
