15. Charles Schultz Indulged in a Sugary Breakfast

Charles Schultz was a cartoonist and writer who created the Peanuts series, and his stories about Charlie Brown and the rest of the gang were popular with both children and adults everywhere, even to this day. Schultz had children of his own, and his morning routine was to wake up, shower, shave, and eat pancakes with maple syrup together with his wife and kids for breakfast before they went to school. It seems almost fitting that the guy who drew comics for kids ate a sugary breakfast usually reserved for children, but maybe the taste of buttery pancakes helped him remember what it was like to be a kid.

After his kids left for the day, Charles Schultz would go into his private studio, which was on his property next to the house. He would carry a brown bag lunch of a ham sandwich and milk over to the studio with him for lunch, and only come back to his house at 4:00 in the afternoon. He spent the rest of the evening with his kids and his wife, who would prepare dinner. As an artist, Schultz could work whenever he wanted, but it seems as though he really used his family to keep him grounded to a normal work schedule.
