    'I'm Comic Sans...'

    Fonts...ugh.

    Each has a purpose and conveys a certain message. In my job - I occasionaly have to pick an appropriate font for the message....and the medium.

    This came across my desk again today and it makes me laugh every time I read it. Here's a link to what Comic Sans (the Fun font) has to say about himself. BEWARE - the language is NSFW, but Comic Sans is pretty angry about how he has been perceived over the years....



    Hope you find it as funny as I do - especially when I get questioned about my choice of Arial over Helvetica.

      I dig it. I've done my shar of arguing over fonts and colors. I think the whole thing was aimed at me. Unless I can aim it at someone else first.

        Hey you Arial-lovin' dumkopf, I'm a Typeface, not a friggin' Font!. Take that!

          Hee hee! Very funny!

          Reminds me of Eddie Murphy on SNL as Gumby: "I'm Gumby, d****t!"

                Hi Guys:

                I love the exchanges on this post.
                Brings back a lot of "old" memories from the past.

                Funny, that I always liked Comics Sans--and still do.
                Cheers,
                s/Mike
