I think this unfairly maligns Comic Sans, a fine font for the purpose it
was designed for: lettering funny books. Having actually seen it in use
where it was intended I think the font itself is great.
What I loath is the fashion for using Comic Sans to illustrate how
serious your business report is. Why, no, that wasn't the right choice
of typeface. Bang, bang, bleed, die.
I take some pleasure knowing that the designer they bought it off feels
the same way I do, and quite a bit of sympathy as it must hurt /so/ much
more when it is your work abusing your eyes daily...
