Probably it has found its place already: it will always look whimsical and circus-like in A4 prints: "Out of hotdogs". Not every typeface can brag of this.

On a second thought, who knows where experimental design will lead you? Experiments did wonders with Helvetica.

I don't agree with that sentiment in general, but in this case I'll make an exception. Excepted!

Now, if I were running QBN I would just change "Cover", "Classic", "Job board", "Filter" and "My Profile" to prove you're right. Heck, I would even have that for a month :D
Take care, lv,

I have to say, and I know this isn't news to anyone...
But comic sans use has gotten seriously out of hand everywhere I go. I think it's due for a Helvetica-esque documentary to really get to the root of why in the hell people resort to it for layouts, signs, flyers, that so totally don't go with it.
I am amazed at some of the places I see it. How is that the choice people end up with? I mean, Arial, at a minimum, is right there at the top of the list of standard fonts in probably all computers.

It is probably possible, just as it’s probably possible to shit in your own mouth without using your hands. The real question is why would you bother with either?

Bump. I must have my question answered!

It can be used in a positive way, in its original context...
And only in its original context.
