 Charles Schulz
Charles Schulz was cursed with the great fortunes of having the merchandising of his characters become humongously successful and the animated adaptations of his work be of extremely high quality.
Those may seem like pure positives, but the curse lies in the fact that Schulz was first and foremost a master cartoonist, and his true artistry is often eclipsed in peoples minds by the indelible imagery of his merchandising and animation.
Schulz had many insecurities, he constantly denied that comics was "Art," and it's not surprising he could never truly throw something in the face of the millions of people who wanted the comic to never change.

 Peanuts ...Charles M Schulz,
Charles M. Schulz has been cartooning for an astonishing 50 years (the Peanuts strip itself debuted October 2, 1950, but he drew an earlier incarnation called Li'l Folks before that).
Schulz comments on the cartoons and his inspirations via notes in the margin, ranging from boyhood stories about his father (a barber, just like Charlie Brown's) to an account of the time the narcolepsy experts at Stanford University expressed concerns over Peppermint Patty's constant sleeping in class.
One of the most interesting inclusions is that of several letters of complaint, ranging from readers whose religious sensibilities have been offended to a 1969 missive from Schulz's own syndicate asking him not to depict Franklin in the same school as the white students anymore.
