Comic Sans, Aphids, and Nothing to Say...

[brighty18]

Andrew, Cody, and I spent the morning hoeing (take that as you will) and working in the greenhouse.  I ended-up covered in aphids which is, in fact, just as gross as it sounds.  That said, I have no pictures of it and no amusing stories to tell.

So, on that note, a word from on of my least favorite fonts...

I'm Comic Sans...

Ewwwww to getting covered in aphids!

I actually like Comic Sans. I always thought it was fun, although I'll agree it's probably not the most professional font.

^^points up^^ i second both of those - ewww to the aphids and, more importantly, i like comic sans, though i concur that it is not particularly professional. (i also like papyrus, apparently comic sans' drinking buddy). i like fonts with a little bit (okay, a lot!) of personality and find helvetica boring and arial even more so. more professionally i might use trebuchet or lucida sans or something like that, but for my personal correspondence, i often use comic sans.

LOL I love the second one.

Me too--I used to work in Corporate America and that second sign doesn't surprise me one bit. Wonder if this was in the Marketing or Public Relations department...

Or the smart elec in the mail room. :)

I like using Comic Sans where appropriate--that is, for signs and PowerPoint slides for graphic novel and/or manga-related stuff.

In general, I adore Times Roman, Baskerville, and Lucida (regular and calligraphy). I use Arial a lot at work because it's very readable and simple yet attention-getting (good for signs).

Yeah, I'm into typography...
