This reminds me of Cardinal John Henry Newman's book Definition of a Gentleman. I often cite Newman's book because it's so instructive. The term gentleman is so overwrought and frequently abused, but to the degree it means anything at all, I think Newman captures it here:

![After losing his collision repair business in the recession of 2008, Andy took on various odd jobs, but still found himself $200 short of his monthly bills.

"It's a sad state of affairs, but it's true."
Andy realized he could pump out these naked cartoon drawings quickly, then sell them for $5 to $10 each on eBay. In 2009, his big break came: after posting a
"lesbian bondage scene" of Erin Esurance to his website, a floodgate of commissioned requests came in. "People just kept contacting me repeatedly, [demanding] Erin Esurance," he says. "I sold 6 or 7 of them for $40 a piece, and was able to pay my bills for a few months."
