I just did a small bit of research and it seems there is a small group of people who dislike Comic Sans because it is overused and because "These widespread abuses of printed type threaten to erode the very foundations upon which centuries of typographic history are built."

They don't give a practical reason for disliking the font other than it is hugely popular.

I think I will continue to use it until I find another font that fulfils my needs. I picked Comic Sans because:
1) It is easy to read
2) It isn't as harsh as Times New Roman so I feel it is more appropriate for a comic - it was designed with comics in mind and inspired from the fronts of 'Watchmen' and 'The Dark Night Returns'
3) It is popular - even if I broke my laptop or needed to work away from it I know I will always find my font on the pc, this is the major problem with using a downloaded script or making your own. So I picked Comic Sans BECAUSE it is overused

I do agree it is a bit boring and doesn't inspire, but then I am not a font specialist, it was just a Letterer then I would give it more thought, but as I am Letterer, Colourer, Inker, Editor, Pencil-er, concept artist, designer, webmaster and so on... I don't think I have time to study fonts.

But it is a valid point and I have spent a bit of time looking into it, so THANK YOU for bring it up and it is something I will look into in the future if I feel it would benefit my comic.
