Comic Sans MS (I hadn't known its name until now) is a dorky looking font, but really no better or worse than other dorky looking fonts. That it's inspired by "
The Dark Knight Returns and
Watchmen" is unsurprising as computer geekery is but an extension of comic-book geekery. What doesn't surprise us either is that one of the universe's leading "news" organizations
led us to
this Wall Street Journals dissertation on it, SLIME's
LIBERAL EDITION henchmen finding themselves an A1-printed 1,300-word excuse late last week to do one less article about
you-know-who (as opposed to His
CONSERVATIVE EDITION, obsessive and obstreperous in its own way). Yes, I know, the
Journals have a tradition of running these keeyute stories and like that, but lately all we've been getting from news hacks is keeyute stories -- for a public-be-damned reason.
