I was at a typocircle event presented by Bruno Maag, and he employs one of the guys who created Comic Sans (Vincent Connare).
Bruno said that comic sans was supposed to be used for the desktop icons on windows: dog, paperclip, etc and was never was gonna be released as a commercial font. but apparently it was very popular amongst the people at microsoft that they released it!!

copy / paste from whatthefont.com: "Originally intended to be the speech-balloon font in Microsoft 3D Movie Maker, it has been bundled with most copies of Windows since 1995."
