US Customs: Sadie Hawkins Day

Sadie Hawkins Day is a day when, according to an old US custom, women can ask men to go out with them to start a romantic relationship, or women can ask men to dance with them at an event called a Sadie Hawkins dance.
Sadie Hawkins is usually in November, and it is based on an imaginary character who first appeared in the US cartoon strop (= a set of drawings that tell a funny story in a newspaper or magazine) L'il abner in the 1930s.
