I'll never understand why people hate Comic Sans =(

I'll never understand why people LIKE Comic Sans

^This

Because typographically, it's a good font. I used it before I learned about all the drama.

It's good, for dialogue balloons and, ah... Text... Boxes... In comics. Just not too much else.

Actually, it isn't. It makes comics look really amateurish and unprofessional. There are plenty other fonts available that look ten million times better.

Isn't it kinda the standard for professional comics? Or have they switched over to verdana? Looking back at the latest from Dark Horse they still use it, they just use it with all capitals except for some lowercase l's which they appear to put in the place of all i's that aren't being used for the start of a sentence, a person, or a name.

Wait, my bad. Jesus I wish FA would implement an edit button. =/ But yeah, Comic Sans looks almost identical to the font that's been used in comics for decades now. And looking over at the latest AvP comics form Dark Horse, it looks like the differences that were present in older publications have vanished. Most notably how in the older comics, the letter S seemed to have a more jagged, straightened top half. Though U's still seem to have a narrower, more pointed bottom in the professional publications than in Comic Sans.

It was never the standard for professional comics and people have been laughing at the font since its inception. Most pros who aren't useless hicks either hand-letter their own digital font or use something else more natural-looking.

look at his icon; it'll become clear why he likes comic sans

its a typeface that is continuously used in a serious tone, when its obviously meant for comical use

plus it wasnt supposed to be used for general use and is generally ugly


thats why people dont like it

But.... It's just a font...

Looks like you don't have nearly enough of an appreciation for typography. There are much better fonts out there, like Verdana, Ariel, Times New Roman and Impact.

Okay. But as long as people can read it. I don't get the point of HATING a font. So much so that there's a campaign against it.

It's an aesthetic thing. The font just looks shitty and amateurish.

To me it just looks more handwritten than most other fonts.

If you want something that looks handwritten, just use Segoe Print

Apparently I don't have it.

But still. It's just a font, no point in getting into stuff about it.

To me it just looks like More Different Word Shapes. And I spend kind of a lot of time looking at words.

I just don't see what there is to get at all worked up over. I'll agree that there are varying levels of quality among fonts, but not so much that people should actually hate or love them. :P

Basically it's a font that gets overused in the "wrong" situations by a lot of people. Naturally this doesn't bother most people, except for those that deal with typography regularly, for example artists who make comics and deal with graphic design. Whenever they see someone who should probably be thinking better about their choice in font not doing so, it enrages them. D: at that point the only thing that can calm them is an episode of their current favorite show, or the corpse of the individual that made them so enraged. ._.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

Ha funny. I just finished my Typography class. I did my final about Comic Sans MS.

Size 10 Tahoma is the best.

I always use Size 10 Tahoma to represent myself in text whenever possible.

But I like Fixedsys too.

^^^^^^

I remember EVERYTHING in my school being written in comic sans.

To be fair, if someone was willing to pay me to do what he's doing, I'd take no shame in it.
