Daisy Mae character jug produced by Pearce Pottery of the United States in 1952. Li'l Abner is a satirical American comic strip that appeared across multiple newspapers worldwide. It featured a fictional clan of hillbillies in the impoverished mountain village of Dogpatch, USA. Written and drawn by Al Capp, the strip ran for 43 years from 1934 through 1977. Daisy Mae Yokum (nee Scragg) was a beautiful young woman hopelessly in love with Dogpatch's most prominent resident, Li'l Abner. During most of the epic, the impossibly dense Abner exhibited little romantic interest in her voluptuous charms, much of it visible daily thanks to her famous polka-dot peasant blouse and cropped skirt. In 1952, Abner reluctantly proposed to Daisy to emulate the engagement of his comic strip "ideel", Fearless Fosdick. Abner and Daisy's ceremony, performed by Marryin' Sam, was a major source of media attention, landing them on the cover of Life magazine's March 31, 1952, issue.
