	Man High School Sadie Hawkins' Day 1999
		Caplin did not realize he was filling a gap in the American cultural pattern, but such was apparently the case, since the day has subsequently been observed in many localities throughout the United States, particularly on a large number of college campuses where the Dogpatch ceremony, humorously reenacted, is an annual occurrence on November 9.
		But wherever the day is celebrated, on the campuses or elsewhere, the captured male is simply the temporary property of his captor, the enforced partner at a dance or some mock ceremony, and is spared the permanent bond of marriage.
		Caplin's comic strip Sadie Hawkins Day is a desperate crisis for the bachelors, and Dogpatch the scene of the type of melodrama that has made the strip and its author-illustrator famous.

	Sadie Hawkins Day
		Sadie Hawkins Day was a few days away and I had still not been asked to the dance on Saturday night.
		During those days preceding Sadie Hawkins Day I got a new perspective on the dating game, and felt great empathy for all the girls who sit by the phone hoping and praying for it to ring.
		I do know, though, that every guy should have at least one invitation in his life on Sadie Hawkins Day, and when it is the season for important High School dances, no one should have to sit by the phone with her eyes turning to glass.

		Not much, for there has never been clarity on how the 29th of February should be celebrated -- unless one happens to be a leap baby or is into the Sadie Hawkins business.
		But Sadie seems fairly quaint for these liberated times, and dances held in her name probably took place last night -- which still leaves one with this oddball Sunday that feels pretty much like a normal Sunday.
		It's not as if the "extra" day in February gives a person more time by creating two Sundays or two Saturdays -- or, better yet, by giving people a choice on exactly where and when they might insert a bonus 24 hours into their datebooks.
