Heaven...
#24
It's a joke, Denise, from back in the days of Windows 95, or maybe longer. At any rate, in the late 1990s, a lot of people were enamored by a font that Microsoft released as part of their basic collection of Web fonts, called "Comic Sans" -- a sans-serif font with odd shapes. It's okay for little bits of text here and there (like text on a comics drawing), but it's awful for reading. I knew people who printed long school papers using it. Teachers and professors went nuts. It's not good on the eyes. At about the same time, when ordinary folks discovered the Internet and started creating their first hobby web pages, it showed up again everywhere. People who actually understood the art of making web pages for readability would complain about that. It became sort of the symbol of air-headedness on the Net. Thus, anyone who uses Comic Sans font on their website are people who can't be trusted to tell you anything that matters, for example.
