wow thats sad, you have nothing better to do than to try to ban a font. Im sorry but get a life!!!
Dude, if all the stupid things in the world are banned ā comic sans being one of them, then whereās all the fun?
I understand that comic sans should never be used to, oh I dont know, write a term paper. BUT I use it, and only it, in my personal blog.
I 3 comic sans!
lol
The lamest part about comic sans is that it has really no relationship to true ācomicā lettering. Which makes it ever so the much sadder when budding webcomics artists use it (even those who eventually make it big ā http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2002/04/22).
Comic Sans should have a different name. Personally I prefer āLame-o sansā but something less judgmental might be acceptable too (āChildās handwriting sansā).
(I assume that any webcomics artists worth their weight in salt know that there is no excuse not to use Blambot fonts ā http://www.blambot.com/)
I donāt know, I kind of like it myself. Particularly for to-do lists. I find it clear and easy to read. I also use it for programming sometimes. Probably wouldnāt use it for an official memo though.
"IT IS THE FONT OF THE GODS!!! "
AMEN!!! PREACH IT, BROTHER!!!
GUYS! COME QUICK! I FOUND THE SON OF A BITCH THAT INVENTED COMIC SANS!

COMIC SANS IS AWSOME. GET A LIFE
Comic Sans is fine as a basic comicbook or childās handwriting simulation font. Anyone who says it isnāt is blind.
Ban Comic Sans was a joke. It appears that itās becoming a joke thatās being taken too farā¦
I recently found this blog and Iāve been enjoying reading it for the last few days. Glad to hear there are at least some sane people out there that realize Comic Sans MS is being grossly abused. You, sir, have earned my respect.
@Timbo: Yes, Ban Comic Sans was a joke, but only the Ban part. They donāt think it should be banned; they think people should get a sense of typography and stop using Comic Sans MS where it is obviously inappropriate.
@everyone that uses Comic Sans MS for programming (or anything for that matter): what the hell is wrong with you? If I ever saw anyone programming in Comic Sans MS Iād have to supress urges of crashing their monitor into their faces.
Damn are your lives that pathetic that you take the time to express deep dislike for something the creator clearly stateās its purpose. Why donāt you people design a font of your own and stop complaining about another personās cotribution to society! Or complaine to the dumbasses your obviously socializing with whom use the text innapropriately!!!
hahah!
Jeff, I just commented on a related post which youāll no doubt be aware of. Strangely enough, that instructor I mentioned in that comment that like his Comic Sans is commonly referred to as the God of our universityās CS department.
Comical post.

I love comic sans ms so anyone who thinks it sucks then you suck

Showing up for a black tie event in a clown costume is the coolest thing in the world. This is why I love comic sans (but never use it just like I would never dress as a clown ever, Iām not cool enough to pull it out).
I use Comic Sans for programming
Me, too. Other fonts either look good only at the wrong sizes (e.g.: Monaco) or look boring. Maybe I like Comic Sans because it resembles handwriting, without being too clumsy.
Iāve used Comic Sans for years for displaying email. The font is whimsical and very easy to read. If a missive is light-hearted, it adds to the lightness. If the missive is bleak and stern, at least Comic Sans alleviates some of the tension.
Years ago, the News Observer newspaper in Raleigh, North Carolina, used as a headline font a serif body type that was grossly enlarged. I very much liked the look, as the serifs were rounded and pleasing to the eye. The NO then switched to a font designed for headlines, a font with lots of harsh serifs. I absolutely hated the new look.
The world, and reality, are sometimes harsh. Why flagellate ourselves with stern, formal fonts like only an anal-retentive could love?
