Jack's fingerless gloves have a lot of artistic flair.

(LMAO at the typographical inside joke of COMIC SANS.)

I'm still trying to figure out 'sans what??' (Other than respect, of course.) (And serifs)

Poor Comic Sans: universally reviled by typographical snobs (and comic book letterers).

You've seen the 'Font Conference' vid on collegehumor.com, I hope?

(I generally use Comic Sans when I want added lettering to looks as if it was hastily scrawled, without using a lettering font that's difficult to read.)

LOL yes, that's a cute vid! Poor Webdings. ;D Love how Comic Sans is the hero.

So ironic that a typeface developed for children's programming got misused in Power Point presentations by typographically-challenged office workers, earning it a bad reputation. It's a highly legible font and good for young readers (the lower case g & q conform to handwriting lessons) but looks really silly for SRS BZNS.
