“If you didn’t notice (a piece of art), I considered that was bad,” Connare says. “And if you did notice, it was good.”
That doesn’t seem contrite. I want to see contrite.

He looks like the kind of guy who’d create Comic Sans, too.

As the creator of Comic Sans you’d think he’d be videoed in complete silhouette with his voice electronically disguised, like a mob informant. If I’d created Comic Sans there’s no way I’d want anyone to identify me in public

Kudos to this guy for creating something so many froth at the mouth about- if he was a modern artist, Comic Sans would be his “Piss Christ”.

There’s nothing wrong with the typeface Comic Sans, there is only bad usage.
Now take Ariel. That needs to be killed with fire!

The only valid Sarcasm font is Sarcastica Oblique. (Well, maybe Sarcastica Extra Heavy, too.)

There is nothing wrong with Comic Sans. There is something wrong with the way a lot of people use it.

Yeah. Never used those. They were perhaps over-used in the 80s. But I suppose they serve a purpose.
