The Post About How Comic Sans Can Help and Hurt

My friend and coworker Lisa texted me a snippet of "How To Remember Everything" in this month's Health Magazine

Sidebar: Health is an ideal publication to read while not exercising and bingeing on Doritos.

Health Magazine Article
Lisa wasn't necessarily critiquing my memory skills, but she wouldn't have been far off the mark.

I promise to post the details of my most recent come-apart over a missing sneaker.

Lisa's text was actually intended to point out #3 in the memory protection tactics.
Health Magazine Article
Lisa, a lover of the font Comic Sans, thought she'd found a weapon to battle my well-documented font snobbery.

She is wrong. As is the scientific study. As is Health Magazine. As is your mother.

Comic Sans is diabolical. 

As is its slimy cousins Kristen and Papyrus.

Note: My favorite free handwriting fonts are found at KevinandAmanda.com.

  1. Agreed. I have hated comic sans for a while and would absolutely never voluntarily use that font for ANYTHING! Same with papyrus.

    BTW, I am going to recommend your blog to my fiance. I think she will like it.
