A man who derives a living from their own finacial assets or has other sources of irregular income leaving them financially secure without any typical employment, duties, or financial responsibilities. Such a man may be self-made, or they may be the result of inheritance, a trust fund baby, or an "idiot son". A true gentleman of leisure enjoys a high quality of life involving mostly recreation and leisure activity, and often prides himself as a playboy, adventurer, or a gentleman gambler. While most are wealthy enough to remain without occupation they will often portray occupation with some line of work such as an investor, speculator, business owner, professional gambler, or even being involved in some sort of illegal or illicit trade.
After making rediculous amounts of money by selling his design to a large company, Tom now fancies himself a gentleman of leisure. He spends most days hanging around the pool reading The Wall Street Journal, and spends his nights at the club either drinking with ladies or playing high stakes poker in the back room.

A virtuosic masterpiece of a photocomic created entirely by the sole efforts of cartoonist Tristan Farnon. Formerly accessible online at www.leisuretown.com, but suddenly and without explanation retired in November of 2003, much to the dismay of many readers. The comic series revolved around the exploits of a menagerie of vaguely anthropomorphic and cheery-looking plastic bendy rabbits, dogs, giraffes, polar bears, lions, cats, pigs, and humans leading horrific lives of hopelessness and despair. The photographed images of the toy animals were seamlessly superimposed over photographs of real locations, creating the image of giant, looming animal-people operating in the human world, establishing a decidedly surreal and creepy aesthetic.
The characters seemed to spend most of their time stealing, beating, murdering, fornicating, shooting pornography, shitting their pants, smoking weed, butt-raping, molesting children, and, most of all, masturbating and committing suicide. The tone was set by long stretches of quiet resentment of everything punctuated by short bursts of sadistically hilarious and impossibly over-the-top bloodshed and violence. Aggressive use of a wide and colorful vocabulary for describing male genitalia also abound.
Leisure Town was one of the most amazingly horrifying and hilarious comics ever created.

Moab, Park City, Aspen and Vail have become infested with leisure class parasites who want to reform small towns into the image of whatever wealthy "progressive" communities they fled from.
