Recently Dead
Cartoonist Ted Key, whose "Hazel" comic strip about a maid that appeared in the Saturday Evening Post in the 1940s and was turned into a popular sitcom in the 1960s, died on Saturday at home in the Philadelphia suburb of Tredyffrin Township after a long battle with cancer. He was 95. Among the other characters he created were Mr Peabody and Sherman, the time-traveling dog/scientist and his boy, who debuted on the animated TV show "Rocky and His Friends" in 1959.
