There Is No Excuse For Comic Sans

I don’t know who I was ‘discussing’ this with the other day, but thank you Achewood for clarifying the argument so thoroughly.

Oh, now that is made of AWESOME. Can I get a kick in, too?

Aww, kinda hard on the guy, no? I don’t like it much either, but shouldn’t the designers and the like who pick it be to blame. I think I read an interview (or was it heard on something like This American Life or something?) that the fellow who created comic sans made it as a placeholder for a presentation or something, and that it was added to MS Word by accident.

And then, well, you know.

I dunno, I think being beaten up by a series of cartoons is kinda the appropriate response. :)
