I never get what's deal with Comic Sans. Why people go nuts when they see it.

Because he know I'm going to go out in this plane and I'm going to remove one of His creations from His universe.

In a similar vain, this

an alright Genesis cover though they use a soundfont.

If I ever figure out vopm, I'd like to do a remix with the Contra Hardcore and Thunderforce iv instruments.

Redoing Fi M music would also be nice.

tl;dr because it is one of the most overused and misused fonts, and it isn't even a good-looking typeface.

Comic Sans? Wingdings is way better.

Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.

I don't think Comic Sans is actually all that ugly. Maybe if used in the wrong hands, but then, look at what the wrong hands did to the Olsen Twins.

I remember finding out that there's an entire movie about the font Helvetica. Apparently fonts are serious buisness.

I've always wondered why the Olsen Twins became so famous when they are the perfect defination of barbie dolls or gremlin babies as the Nostalgia Critic calls them.

Does anyone remember the Olsen Twins animated series? They had a talking dog.

Yeah, I think the Olsens were spies. It's like if Justin Bieber had a show where he was a master assassin or something.

It wasn't. It was beyond the point of so bad it's entertaining, and well into...just...bad.

Or Plan 9 from Outer Space.

In other news, I'm still torn over whether to order one of those Twilight plushies. It's actually decent quality and price, but I just spent a chunk of money on this

, and I don't know if I want to drop another thirty bucks so soon.

question- how can someone "misuse" a font or typeface? It's for writing text. As long as you're writing something with it, how is it misused?

An absolutely horrible person. Really.

#396296 CDRW Sat, 7th Sep '13 1:55:48 PM

I think it would count as misused in an obituary.

All I see is oversue of Comic Sans hate. And it's annoying.

Different fonts imply different things, and convey different moods. Misuse would be using a SUPER SERIOUS font for a party invitation—or a breezy, informal one for a serious document.

The problem with Comic Sans is that it's not just breezy and informal. It's that, even by the standards of breezy, informal, handwriting-esque fonts, it's ugly. And it's overused because it comes standard on Microsoft computers.

And, since today is apparently National Jump To Conclusions Day...

It was actually based on the lettering from Alana Moore's Watchmen (Hence 'comic' sans). However like many things from that era of comics it doesn't really stand up well today - partly because Watchmen was what gave legitimacy to comics as a medium, and so many of the elements therein are still... pre-good. Ish.
