Before Lightnin' Hopkins' "Henny Penny Blues" from the 1940s, there was a 1906 comic strip version.[3] A more recent instance is the Golden Girls' TV skit titled "Henny Penny" (1991). The Yale Book of Quotations cites the nursery tale "Chicken Licken" as the source for 'the sky is falling' and the character is mentioned in John Cheever's short story "The 5.48".
