A short comic, probably from an anthology - in a small town, the richest guy in town is driving around when he sees a couple on a date at a restaurant. He thinks the scene is romantic, so he buys the restaurant and paints the table, chairs and some of the floor red.
The townspeople don't mind at first, because they're getting the money. But, he keeps doing it in other places - a bench where an old man was feeding the birds, a swing in a park where kids were playing... the people start getting mad about him trying to buy their happiness and keep them from going to those places. In the end, they all storm his mansion and kill him.
The story's a bit like a Tales from the Crypt story, but it was probably made much more recent, maybe during the eighties or nineties. It might be from some european anthology, but if it is, it's been translated to english.
