I like that font. I use it on my handmade greetings cards.

Comic Sans goes into a Bar ... and the barman says ...

... we don't serve your type in here.

actually that big pile of multicoloured words, on marks link, that is meant to describe comic sans and its users - actually puts me more in mind of the saddos that get so het up about a font!

its not a weird or hard to read font, and at size 10 its differences are barely noticable.
it has its uses just like any other font.

i knew many hated it, but a campaign to ban it?! jeeeez!
