The Comic Sans Saga
Over the past week, I’ve come across several posts about Comic Sans. I can’t explain this trend, but here are some of the interesting and funny ones:
“Comic Sans walks into a bar, bartender says, ‘We don’t serve your type.’”
That’s from this WSJ article: Typeface Inspired by Comic Books Has Become a Font of Ill Will. Vincent Connare, designer of Comic Sans, reacted with: “If you love it, you don’t know much about typography. If you hate it, you really don’t know much about typography, either, and you should get another hobby.” (via matt.cc)
Over at Rocketboom, you can also watch and hear Vincent Connare talk about the history of Comic Sans at ROFLThing NYC. (via iLT)
Also via matt.cc is this hilarious video.
Finally, watch Comic Sans on Vimeo, a short documentary about the font. (via Lifehacker)
