Fred: Since it's an actual comic I see no problem with it.

It may not be your special talent, but it's a talent everyone should learn.

You are right... using Comic Sans in a comic is totally inappropriate.

Why of course the COMIC Sans font isn't for COMICS.
What made you think that COMIC Sans was for COMICS?
I wonder~

There are real comic fonts, use them.

Comic Sans was made for Comic Chat. Comic Chat died. Let Comic Sans die too.

I knew choosing comic sans was the right idea, it always brings people together.

The only reason people hate on comic sans was originally due to being used in inappropriate contexts, like college reports and businesses, and later simply because of pretentious wannabe elitists didn't understand that point behind the comic sans bashing and have gotten the erroneous impression that it has something inherently wrong with it.
In the context of an informal and/or graphical medium (comics) the smooth curved edges and lack of serif allow it to be easily read, but not clash with the art it is being added to.

If I could, everything I typed (at least in forums and places like youtube and here) would be in comic sans, not just to troll the stuck up douches, but also just because I like the font.

@GreyAcumane A lack of serif only improves readability of sans serif fonts on screen, where the comparatively low resolution of the screen can cause serifs to be confusing. If the font is large face, or rendered in print where the serifs can be easily distinguished from the main structure of the glyphs, serif fonts win out in readability. The fact that I only see it used in exactly this way (blown up) negates any advantage of sans serif.

And "smooth curved edges" are present in every outline font — it's what this class of type face is for, after all. Comic sans has no special advantage here.

Sorry, bit of an overreaction but the bad comments about them already seem like overreactions. I'f I'm missing a GOOD point to the whining, then sorry for the outburst.

I don't care about Comic Sans in most contexts but whenever I see it on HP's official correspondence (and I sometimes do) I want to kill somebody. Why not just send me the teardown instructions written in crayon for crying out loud.
