I think it has its uses - my Literacy students like it because it looks like handwriting and doesn't confuse them. But it is a bit cute...

san francisco was worse. thankfully they got rid of it.

in fact, worse candidates than comic sans are Impact, and well, any font that is also the name of a city (Geneva, Monaco, San Francisco etc) ...

oh see, I don't mind Geneva and Monaco, they're not so bad - but comic sans - bad. San Francisco, luckily, we don't get to see that too often!! Well, since they got rid anyway... thank goodness.

Of course it is. I hate Comic Sans with a passion beyond all reasoning.

hurrah! someone who agrees! I was getting worried about the lack of 'yes' votes in the poll for a short while too. It is evil, isn't it?

after checking out sites for downloading fonts I can safely say there are worse. Though comic sans scores very high on annoying.

Have you found the Ban comic sans site yet? Or did i mention it before?

oh I agree there are worse (that was possibly my next poll, when I get a chance!) - it is a horrid font though. Last year, my dad's website, when the business was theirs, had a horrid fluorescent square on it, with a comic sans font, saying "bookmark this page, we know you'll want to come back!" or something like that - basically the sort of thing which would make you want to run a mile!

I've not found that site yet, but I'm going off to have a look now!
