Faye on the BBC website
Big Murray:
Shouldn't the discussion be about how it's quite cool to see Faye on the BBC, rather than wondering about whether or not to bust them for copyright?
Irenfrea:
Too bad they haven't cited the source of that strip.
Although I'd preferred that BBC linked this strip from Achewood

It would also be very nice if they could throw in a link, which is 65535 times more beneficial than any copyright issue might be.

Yeah, having a link to QC would have been the appropriate thing to do. Oh well, whatcha gonna do?
Now, I know that I'm aesthetically challenged. But even so, I fail to grasp why everyone has a hate-on for comic sans. Papyrus, on the other hand...
And what is with books lately devoting a whole page to the history of the font?

Because it came to a head with the whole LeBron James and Cavaliers owner thing, where he wrote a furious letter that was impossible to take seriously because it was in Comic Sans (and because he sounded like a petulant child). Papyrus is overdone, but Comic Sans is an order of magnitude higher on the frequency of misuse scale (maintained by the National Typeface Observatory, with realtime updates on font misuse.)
Basically it's a casual font, to be used for casual purposes. It shouldn't be used for business writing or most advertising, but it is anyway.
