Ban Comic Sans was conceived in the fall of 1999, when Holly Sliger was a senior at the Herron School of Art and Design in Indianapolis, studying typography and graphic design. Designing a museum gallery guide for a children's hands-on artifact exhibit, Ms. Sliger says she was horrified when her bosses told her to use Comic Sans. She told them it was a cliché, and printed out a list of other typefaces she thought better suited the project. They insisted on Comic Sans.
"It was like hell for me," she says. "It was everywhere, like an epidemic."
POOR BB.
I honest to god would probably quit if any of my employers forced me to use Comic Sans on a project. It's not EVEN that I hate the fucking font, it's that anyone who *forces* me to USE it without even LOOKING at other suggestions obviously is extremely close-minded, old fashioned, has boring, shit taste and lacks in creativity, things I absolutely cannot work with. So, kthxbai at that point. COMIC SANS WOULD JUST BE THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG. I'd just quit while I was ahead lol.
The font, a casual script designed to look like comic-book lettering, is the bane of graphic designers, other aesthetes and Internet geeks. It is a punch line: "Comic Sans walks into a bar, bartender says, 'We don't serve your type.'"
