According to wikipedia Trebechet was invented by the same son of a bitch who invented comic sans.

So he's 1-1.

Hate to dig up an old-ish thread, but I would just like to point something out. Yesterday I happened to see the last few minutes of the movie Tyler Perry's Daddy's Little Girls - only because it had Stringer Bell from The Wire! Honest! - and the end credits were in comic sans. Really. The entire credits. Even the badass-ness of Stinger Bell wasn't enough to make up for that typography trainwreck.

This cartoon has made me very aware of Comic Sans.  I am seeing it everywhere.

Isn't it weird? I disliked Comic Sans before, but now it seems even more irritating. The increased awareness of irritating Comic Sans has done my stomach acid no favors.

I believe the titles and credits for the Fat Albert movie were done in Comic Sans as well.

Yes, word, precisely. The mark of a good strip.

after this, I realized that 7th or 8th grade me had set my AIM to use Comic Sans. I had been speaking, and Comic Sans was my voice.

I contemplated getting a new screenname to end the shame, but "theinevitable" and "the_inevitable" weren't available-- neither was my real name. So, there goes that. I really think they need to go through and take out all the screennames that haven't been used in 5 years or more.

Ironically, I know the guy who has my Real Name as a screenname. Ah, facebook. So, I guess it's not really irony.

What the hell has happened to college humour? Last time I went to that site it was where you go to see a guy get kicked in the balls by his room-mate.
Great video, except of course for comic sans being a good thing.
