Why I created Comic Sans
Comic Sans as a font needs no defense.<p>Just like a good band with bad fans, we don't balk at Comic Sans, we balk at the people who use comic sans for inappropriate things. (Or to use a more computery analogy, there's nothing wrong with capital letters or all-caps, but some users use them inappropriately).<p>City memo minutes should not be distributed in Comic Sans. Wedding invitations should probably not be in Comic Sans. The Surrey police should not have released a memo on rape and sexual assault in Comic Sans[1].<p>There are times when you do not want to be unserious and insincere, and some people are, and its embarrassing. Comic Sans is just a vector for that, but if you find fault with it, its still the people who are at fault.<p>[1] <a href="http://i.imgur.com/C6QY1yp.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/C6QY1yp.jpg</a><p>(The Surrey Police strike again! <a href="http://i.imgur.com/Kn68ubk.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/Kn68ubk.jpg</a>)<p>(the compulsive designers in us will notice the logo at the top of that one is off-center, too)
