You won't find an argument here ! I have a hard time putting
it all in perspective, but I guess it was pretty much
ground-breaking for its time. Actually I heard Lil'Abner was
created after a survey amongst teenage girl who defined their
ideal man : they all described how he would look ‹ but none
of them ever mentioned intelligence ! Maybe it's another
urban legend, huh ? Sadie Hawkins' Day ? Is it true it still
is celebrated in some places in the US ? (I'm all for itŠ
Maybe it's my Gallic side speakingŠ Pepe Le Pew, eat your
heart out ! :)))
