==In popular culture== * Cartoonist [[Al Capp]], creator of the [[comic strip]] ''[[Li'l Abner]]'', satirized Baez as "Joanie Phoanie" during the 1960s.

Although Baez was upset by the parody in 1966, she admits to being more amused in recent years. "I wish I could have laughed at this at the time", she wrote in a caption under one of the strips, reprinted in her autobiography. "Mr. Capp confused me considerably. I'm sorry he's not alive to read this, it would make him chuckle."<ref>UPI (January 11, 1967).
