I recall Brian Mays did a "Graphic Avenger" on Comic Sans which was
followed with some moaning and groaning concerning this font. This
article was in yesterdays WSJ.

Interesting article. I loved the line, " 'If you love it, you don't know
much about typography,' Mr. Connare says. But, he adds, 'if you hate it,
you really don't know much about typography, either, and you should get
another hobby.'"

And of course since Vincent Connare's inspirations in designing the font
was, The Dark Knight Returns and Watchmen, we must give him credit for
his insightful and outstanding reading habits.

Thanks for posting.
