NO.

I will not permit it.

I don't understand why Comic Sans has such a bad rap. I usally type everything in Arial as a default, because it's the plainest font in existence and thus, i assume, the most legible. I find comic sans just a slightly jazzier version that has a teeny tiny bit of ooomph while losing none of the plain-wrap legibility.

But whatever ... sheesh, fontelitists.

Is it true that those short school buses ride smoother than the long ones? I always wondered.

It's a myth.

Or, yes. Yes, go ahead. Show us all your incredible lack of taste. That's all right. I'll wipe the blood from my eyes.

And yours.

Comic Sans is what people use for signage for tacky craft faires - and spell Fair as Faire.

Hmm, i don't think it looks Craftish at all. But if you spell it "Faire" without an Olde English type font, you have serious problems.

Wait, could you say that again, iSm.

WE Don't really HAVE an Olde ENGLISH Font here on THE LoT, BUT if Comic Sans was so lame, why was it offered here until 5 minutes ago?
