Even its designer doesnt like Comic Sans

Date June 28th, 2006 Comment 4 Comments

Comic Sans was NOT designed as a typeface but as a solution to a problem with the often overlooked part of a computer program’s interface, the typeface used to communicate the message.

The first Jackass movie is a bona-fide guilty pleasure of mine, funnier than I thought it’d be and still withstanding the test of time.
Number Two looks even funnier, especially since it includes a rocket-powered bicycle and ‘extreme’ teeth removal. Bring it on!
