Did you know that Comic Sans is heavily based on the lettering of dark, gritty comics like Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns.

Text from wikipedia that says "... he decided to create a new typeface with only a mouse and cursor, based on the lettering style of comic books he had in his office, specifically The Dark Knight Returns (lettered by John Costanza) & Watchmen (lettered by Dave Gibbons)."The text is written in Comic Sans font.

I highly recommend you immediately click through and check the work done to put Comic Sans within the context of those comics to see how well it does there. I have a new lens to look Comic Sans from.

Consider. Mind. Blown.
