Why choosing the right font is important.

But wouldn't Comic Sans mean not funny?
Sans meaning "without" So for the joke to work, the letter needed to be read very seriously perhaps with a funny topic instead of a serious topic read funny.

In this case it's not about what the word means, it's about how the font looks when you read it.

Quote:
There is not anything inherently funny about it, especially since its designer based it on the fonts used in the (later) Batman and Watchman comics. People just tend to think of the font as something funny because it is misused so much.

The first link was removed by user, so I have no faith in trying the other two.
