PHILADELPHIA - Cartoonist Ted Key, whose comic strip "Hazel" about a bossy maid went from magazine page to TV screen, has died. He was 95.

He died Saturday at his home in Tredyffrin Township after a 1 1/2-year battle with bladder cancer, his son said.

Key also created the characters Mr. Peabody and Sherman for producer Jay Ward.

Theodore Keyser was born in Fresno, Calif., in 1912. His father, a Latvian immigrant who had changed his last name from Katseff to Keyser, changed his name to Key during World War I.
