Hey Blockhead

Charles Schultz was a slave to Peanuts. Watch A&E's biography or read his biography and you'll see someone who couldn't get past his early rejections in life. It was the heart of Peanuts. Here's someone who had major success but still struggled with his insecurities. And worst yet he let life pass him by while he was chained to his drawing table. Drawing is great but don't do it at the expense of life passing you by. Life goes by quickly. He didn't like to travel and didn't like to take time off. He passed on family vacations letting his wife and kids go without him. He shunned offers of friendship because his friends and family were pen and paper. Even as he grew old and senile and his strip read like a train wreck and looked like a disjointed group of scribbles he refused to quit. He somehow equated his worth in life in his art instead of himself. Not a life I'd wish on anyone. But he was rich you might counter. What is all the wealth in the world if you don't enjoy it.
