The Horror of Comic Sans

From the 'don't we have more important things to worry about right now?' I-files comes this story about ill-will fostered by the comic sans font.

"The font, a casual script designed to look like comic-book lettering, is the bane of graphic designers, other aesthetes and Internet geeks. It is a punch line: "Comic Sans walks into a bar, bartender says, 'We don't serve your type.'" On social-messaging site Twitter, complaints about the font pop up every minute or two. An online comic strip shows a gang kicking and swearing at Mr. Connare. ( ZC Note: Really? I hadn't noticed.)

"The jolly typeface has spawned the Ban Comic Sans movement, nearly a decade old but stronger now than ever, thanks to the Web. The mission: "to eradicate this font" and the "evil of typographical ignorance."

Of course, being a horror fan, bad taste and evil are my bread and butter. So I'll continue to use comic sans to spread as much terror and ill-will as possible. It's no fun being prim and proper all the time, you know. I say go ahead and punch the little runny-nose, floppy-eared ball of fur. I dare you.
