In the satirical American comic strip "Li'l Abner", what was Daisy Mae's maiden name?
"Li'l Abner" is a satirical American comic strip that appeared in many newspapers in the United States, Canada and Europe, featuring a fictional clan of hillbillies in the impoverished mountain village of Dogpatch, USA. Written and drawn by Al Capp (1909–1979), the strip ran for 43 years, from August 13, 1934 through November 13, 1977.
Daisy Mae Yokum (née Scragg), one of the main characters, was hopelessly in love with Dogpatch's most prominent resident throughout the entire 43-year run of Al Capp's comic strip. During most of the epic, the impossibly dense Abner exhibited little romantic interest in her voluptuous charms.

I really liked this comic strip. I'm laughing now thinking about it.

A couple of the answers... I sure had my wonders about. Still think 2 were wrong.

Capp originated it and owned the byline. In the later years it was mostly drawn by another cartoonist Robert Lubbers

The Comics was the first page I went to as a child.

The marriage of Li'l Abner Yokum and Daisy Mae Scragg was a big event in the media at the time, with it appearing on the cover of the March 21, 1952 issue Life Magazine.

Fred Mayes, I seem to have missed the movie somehow and I guess Dogpatch is out now.

Claudia Heilke, True. You have to be very wary of the suggestions from the majority.

Don Curtis Latimer, I haven't bothered reading comics over the past fifty years (no newspaper in eighteen years).

Correction.. Spell check decided Yokum should be Joking!

I thought it was Joking, but maybe that was Lil Abner' s name.
