A leftist plot to take away your fonts

I'm shocked that, in this day and age, there are those who can still spew such blatantly anti-font propaganda.

[B]y approximately 2018, usage of the Comic Sans font will have surpassed usage of the Helvetica and Times New Roman fonts. By 2030, Comic Sans will be the only remaining font. All other fonts will be extinct and will go the way of grunge and post-grunge lettering.

Holly Sliger and Dave Combs, the husband-and-wife team who started the Ban Comic Sans movement and man the typographic barricades, offer merchandise, font alternatives, and oratory on their website to inspire us all:

"By banding together to eradicate this font from the face of the earth we strive to ensure that future generations will be liberated from this epidemic and never suffer this scourge that is the plague of our time."

See? You doubted me before, and thought the anti-Comic Sans movement was just a short-lived internet joke. But now you know it's more pervasive than that. It's all so clear now. They're messing with your Second Amendment right to bear fonts! All I have to say, Holly and Dave, is this:

WHEN COMIC SANS IS OUTLAWED, ONLY OUTLAWS WILL USE COMIC SANS.

I favor the use of Georgia for my internets, Times New Roman for real life, and if I'm in school and trying to visually lengthen a paper, then I go with Courier New, or, sometimes, New York.

Because I know you care.

I'm a Verdana convert now that Souvenir has been removed from all known computers. BTW, there's a finder's fee for Souvenir. Contact me.

How did you get Comic Sans on your blog?

How? Clean living, baby!
