Fun fact about comic sans: It was designed to be used in one situation, with one format, in a kids program for windows. It was, for some reason, shipped with a version of windows, as a default, usable font. So if you ever wonder why it looks terrible.. It was only designed for one situation, and it didn't look half-bad there. Other situations weren't in the design spec. Which is why I absolutely advocate an alternative, if you need to use comic sans, don't use comic sans. Use comic neue. It was optimized FOR these situations in which comic sans isn't suitable, while maintaining the status as "font-like-6-year-old-writing". And as always, a source to prove i'm not raving stark mad. http://www.connare.com/whycomic EDIT: tl;dr for the source: typographer figured comic sans would be better than Times New Roman for a cartoon talking dog
