For Thanksgiving, the industrious Dick Buchanan has gone to his Cartoon Clip Files and produced a scan of "Hazel" by Ted Key. Dick writes:
Note: I am as ever thankful to my friend Dick Buchanan for his contributions here. Dick maintains the priceless Dick Buchanan Cartoon Clip Files. He contributes regularly to Mike Lynch Cartoons, most recently some early cartoons memorializing the late "Gahan WIlson 1930 - 2019."
Hazel came to him in a dream one night and, in the beginning, cartoons featuring her appeared in other magazines until The Saturday Evening Post insisted Hazel should become exclusively theirs. Yes, I have a couple of these cartoons in my file.Later, of course, Hazel went on to her own television show. This particular cartoon seems to show a surprisingly malign or even cruel side of Hazel.

| I've always thought the phrase "Penny for your thoughts" should take a question mark. It's not merely an offer of exchange; it's an idiomatic request to know what someone is thinking. It is generally intoned as an interrogative. |
