I'm Comic Sans, Asshole

The world's most hated font lashes back. One of McSweeney's 10 most-read pieces ever.

People are always hating on Comic Sans. And they always assume it’s some kind of infantile, stupid font. I thought it would be funny if Comic Sans was the opposite: a raging, hypermasculine asshole who’s sick of your shit. When this got published, my inbox was overwhelmed almost instantly. People keep performing it as a monologue. It’s been read by Timothy Simons from Veep. And I even ended up teaching a class about it.
