hehe, even the creator of the font rarely uses it and understands why people don't like it.

That was a lot to read.

that font helped a ton of people selling amateur porn a fortune - MikeAI and Amateur Index and most early amateur sites all used Comic Sans. That's all the Amateur Index logo was, text in Comic Sans is a rainbow of colors.

so the creator of the font made nothing from it? No mention of Microsoft giving him any bonus or anything. I remember that Microsoft Bob project that he invented the font for, it was like a Windows OS for Kids.

Comic Sans walks into a bar and asks for a beer. The barman replies: "Sorry, we don't serve your type in here".

comic sans = money

Wow, not sure what to say. There is actually a whole group of people who actually "hate" a font and think they need to fight to get it banned?

WTF is wrong with people and wtf are they wasting their lives on such a non-issue.

Idiocracy!

It's about time somebody took up the challenge. It's the most horrid typeface ever
