About This Item
New York: E.P. Dutton & Co., 158. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Very Good/Fair.
The bindings are tight and square. Text clean, light even toning. Moderate shelf handling wear. Some age-darkening to the cloth. The Dust jacket is worn, though presents well; with loss on corners. . Ted Key was an American cartoonist and writer. He is best known as the creator of the cartoon panel Hazel, which was later the basis for a television series of the same name.
The single-panel Hazel cartoon was Key's most famous creation. The basis for the wry and bossy household maid, came to Key in 1943 in a dream that he drew the next morning and sent to The Saturday Evening Post, where it was accepted and began running regularly. He soon afterward gave the character a name and employment at the Baxter household.
In 2008, the cartoonist's son, Peter Key, said, 'He picked the name Hazel out of the air, but there was an editor at The Post who had a sister named Hazel. She thought her brother came up with the name, and she didn't speak to him for two years.'
