Key also created the characters Mr. Peabody and Sherman for producer Jay Ward. The time-traveling dog/scientist and his boy made their TV debuts in 1959 in segments on the animated show "Rocky and His Friends."

WOW...Thanks and RIP Mr. Key.

I loved Mr. Peabody and Sherman and the Way-Back Machine! Rocky & Bullwinkle - great cartoons! That was when cartoons were funny.

Later, Key and a neighbor published biweekly motivational posters called "Positive Attitude Posters,"

Oh, no. Not those. They're all over my company's offices.
