About the comic strip failed idea

I know this room is inadequate by modern nursing home standards, but I felt compelled to make it Sam Paine's room, if the comic had shaped up.

It's Taking Shape

I rarely have used wealthy characters. Sam Paine is wealthy but he's been shafted. I gave him a character that can be identified with by most right thinking people and so far have not found reason to kill anybody in the storyline. We can only hope. His wife is not wicked, but she and their daughter have been corrupted by the daughter's boyfriend. It's so far more of a righting a wrong tale than of revenge or murder. 

Most comic strips go rather static

after a bit. Converting my comic idea to prose has freed it to an expanding plot that takes it beyond the confines of a nursing home. Lest it be confused with the plot of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, there is no Indian, no stolen good times in a bus, no protagonist similar to the one in Cuckoo's, no facing a tragic ending. I have a personal aversion to that book, based mainly on the final pages, anyhow. My character is no antihero. He has a life and a personal fortune and this will tell how he gets it all back. Many antiheroes do the same things as the other antiheroes, say the same things and in the end their originality has become stereotypical. So I avoid such a character if at all possible.
