‘I’m Comic Sans, asshole’

Posted on June 17th, 2010 by steve

Great post over at McSweeney’s – written by Comic Sans. Enjoy it here.

I actually like Comic Sans. It’s not great, but I love its unintentional subversive nature. It just gets used a whole lot for really stupid stuff. By people who don’t know what they hell they’re doing. But I’d absolutely love one of my fonts to be as notorious.

OEM licensing for Chandler 42 anyone?
