  I want to make this into a poster. Maybe do a series of classic typographic pieces all set in comic sans:

  Just for fun, comic sans is so hated, it's like a sacreligious act to typographers which is what appeals.

  Comic Sans is hated for a reason, though. I get the point, but as mentioned above, in the end it's still an ugly poster.

  I'd like to see a perversion of those posters that you'd still want to hang on a wall. Like set in YWFT's Blessed or something.

  The reason everyone hates comic sans, is because people using powerpoint or word use it inappropriately the world over, it's ubiquitous in its bad use.
  That kind of why I like the idea of resetting great typography in it. Kind of saying, if the tools of typography were always so freely available would we still have all this great work. Microsoft and DTP in general have a lot to answer for when it comes to the decline of good typography, and the acceptance of amateur efforts

  FYI the guy that designed comic sans – vincent connare now works for Dalton Maag!:

  I feel like I'm being a wet blanket to your idea. I was just trying to say that, while hating Comic Sans is a graphic design cliché, it doesn't change the fact that the typeface sucks.

  Anyway, I think it's an interesting idea. Just sharing my two cents.
