Daisy Mae Scragg

Daisy Mae Scragg is a sweet-natured, beautiful young woman from Dogpatch, the fictional Appalachian hillbilly community in Al Capp's satirical comic strip. She is best known as the devoted sweetheart of Li'l Abner Yokum, endlessly pursuing the oblivious mountaineer.

Straight out of the sun-drenched hills of Al Capp's satirical Southern landscape, Daisy Mae Scragg made her comics debut in 1946, a Golden Age creation from one of America's most celebrated cartoonists. She's a fixture of the beloved Li'l Abner universe, sharing pages with the likes of Li'l Abner Yokum himself, and her presence across titles spanning an remarkable 62 years speaks to the enduring warmth and humor Capp built into Dogpatch's world. Whether you encounter her in Al Capp's Li'l Abner or the pages of Life, Daisy Mae represents the heart of a comic strip tradition that shaped American popular culture for generations — and for collectors, any Golden Age Toby Press appearance is a genuine piece of history worth treasuring.
