I’m Comic Sans, %@#hole

Literary magazine McSweeney’s has given the world’s most maligned typeface a chance to fight back. Short Imagined Monologue “I’m Comic Sans, %@#hole” is a rapid-fire diatribe against the Swiss snobs and fun haters….and it’s very, very funny.

“People love me. Why? Because I’m fun. I’m the life of the party. I bring levity to any situation. Need to soften the blow of a harsh message about restroom etiquette? SLAM. There I am. Need to spice up the directions to your graduation party? WHAM. There again. Need to convey your fun-loving, approachable nature on your business’ website? SMACK….”

We promise this will be the only time ManMade posts anything in Vincent Connare’s 1994 casual that’s rocked such achievements as the Beanie Babies logo and the Sims video games, but for now, if he’s actually this funny, we say rock on, you Sans Serif Superman.
