Bobcat79 Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 On the "wings" of a wooden airplane. Coincidentally, it was an airplane which you could buy and customize, out of a catalog given to me by the people at the campus printing resource center. We were there on a "field trip" with, also coincidentally, my graphic design class. My friend turns to me upon reading what was printed on the wings ("Drugs Don't Fly With Me") and added "And Neither Does Comic Sans."It's also on a link from OU's homepage, upper left corner... ugh. I found this today when I was looking up something. Images thanks to TornadoGTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discogod Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 A house in the next street has a sign on its front door requesting that dog owners refrain from letting their animals defecate upon their doorstep (only in much less polite language) written in comic sans. It's quite amusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elsephen Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 This wasn't today, but just yesterday the lady that works in a desk over at my office was asking her friend about what font she was going to use and mentioned how she likes comic sans.I told her how disappointed I was in her for doing so. And I don't know that it'll help- but maybe, just maybe one of these days she'll stop and think before using it. If so, I feel I did my job that day.

Thad Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I haven't seen Comic Sans anywhere today. Lucky me.

andrewharrington Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Y'all act like you're too good for Comic Sans. Why don't you find a good way to use it instead of huffing and puffing about how much it sucks and how terrible the people who use it are. Challenge yourself to make it work instead of jumping on the lazy 'it sucks' bandwagon. It'll make you a better designer, and you'll never look at 'taboo' fonts the same way again (or any font, for that matter). There's a good way to use almost every font. You just have to figure out what that way is.
