We forget that, for that generation of cartoonists, having your own Newspaper strip was the ultimate goal. Unfortunately, the strips were on the way out by the 50s' so many of them never made it.
This narrative is such that it is hard at first to figure out what kind of strip it was intended to be.
The resolution of the first arc implies that 'Adam' was intended as a sort of male Mary Worth. This genre of Strip is obviously intended primarily for a female audience, like Stan Drakes' Juliet Jones but with a male figurehead. Beautiful Art and storytelling, but an oddity.
