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 the Philadelphia suburb of Tredyffrin Township after a 1 1/2-year battle with cancer, his son Peter Key said Monday.

“Hazel” was a popular feature in The Saturday Evening Post from the time it debuted in 1943. It evolved into a prime-time series in 1961 that starred Shirley Booth and ran for four years on NBC and one year on CBS.

Key was diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2006 and suffered a stroke in September.

He is survived by his second wife, Bonnie, three sons and three grandchildren. His first wife, Anne, died in 1984.

Rest In Peace, Ted.
