    who has comic sans stories? i do.

    many fortnights ago, i was putting together a website, solely for the enertainment of my friends, when i took a break to check out a forum, on a design portal so very much like this one. Several people were having a few laughs at the expense of old 'comic sans', and i couldnt help but grimace. Seemed to me that ripping on comic sans had become the cool thing to do...

    then i thought, dammit, i'll score a blow for old comic sans and slip it onto this site somewhere... and I did. I was actually quite proud of myself when it was all said and done. I felt i had won back a small bit of dignity for comic sans, if only briefly, on a site that almost noone would see.

    a few of my friends checked out the site the next day, and almost the first comment i heard was. "its pretty cool except for that one ugly font you used there".

    I'm sorry comic sans. I guess I failed you.
