Ted Kay - May 3, 2008
Cartoonist Ted Key, whose comic strip "Hazel" about a bossy maid, has died after a 1-1/2-year battle with cancer. He was 95.
"Hazel" was a popular feature in The Saturday Evening Post from the time it debuted in 1943. It also evolved into a prime-time television series in 1961 and ran for four years on NBC and one year on CBS.
Key also created the characters Mr. Peabody and Sherman for producer Jay Ward. The time-traveling dog/scientist and his pet boy made their TV debuts in 1959 in segments on the animated show "Rocky and His Friends."
