237. Li'l Abner's Gal
Daisy Mae (2002).
Voluptuous Daisy Mae Scragg (see
also button #260) was not just the most beautiful and desirable
woman in Dogpatch. As numerous strip adventures demonstrated,
Daisy Mae was the most desirable woman in the world. But
spurning the attention of salivating millionaires and movie stars,
she saved her heart for only one man: an undeserving lout
named Li'l Abner Yokum (see button #236). And saved it
and saved it.
Despite her trademark plunging polka-dot
peasant blouse and other allures, Li'l Abner could care less
about Daisy Mae or any woman. He was focused solely on
manly chores like fishin', wrassling, his career (as a mattress
tester) and religiously reading comic strips about his "ideel,"
Fearless Fosdick (see button #239). After eighteen long
years of escaping her in suspenseful Sadie Hawkins Day
races (see button #238) Abner was finally and elaborately tricked
into marrying Daisy Mae in 1952. Their celebrated comic
strip wedding made headlines and the cover of Life magazine.
