Tristan A. Farnon
Tristan Alexander Farnon is an American webcomic author, creator of ''Leisure Town'', the ''Silent Key'' podcast and a member of the web comic Jerkcity.
==''Leisure Town''==
''Leisure Town'' is a comic strip, created by Farnon, which features photographs of bendable toy figures digitally superposed onto separately photographed backgrounds to create each frame. While the "characters" are children's toys, the comics explore mature themes. The strip ran from 1997 to 2003 (although in a reduced format from 2001 to 2003); some limited additional content was published in what appears to have been a one-time event in 2005. The strip is still being published on the Internet, but no new content has been published since 2005.
''Leisure Town'' gained some notoriety in 1997 when Farnon scanned ''Dilbert'' strips and changed the dialogue to become profane (the story was that a giraffe became irate in his office job and started creating the strips). ''Dilbert's'' lawyers came calling and the characters were replaced with stick figures; Farnon then reverted to the ''Dilbert'' versions, until the lawyers called again. The original ''Dilbert'' comics were restored a second time when the site was relaunched in March 2005. During this period, however, the modified ''Dilbert'' strips had been mirrored by a number of other websites under the name ''The Dilbert Hole''; oddly, these mirrors did not attract the legal interference that ''Leisure Town'' had and a number of them continue to operate to the present day.
In 2002, Farnon discussed ''Leisure Town'' on CNN's ''NEXT@CNN'' show. CNN described ''Leisure Town'' as a "quirky, some would say twisted, photo comic (was ) nominated for a Webby Award two years ago, and has developed a cult following." Farnon described the financial difficulties of creating webcomics, saying "If I can support myself doing Leisure Town, I will be very surprised. You realize that when you make online comics, you're sort of folding up your product into a paper airplane and sailing it out the window, and who knows who's going to catch it."
