...that Comic Sans is an almost infallible sign of an amateur.

Sluggy Freelance is an exception, but are there any others?

I'm in the same case... had I started even three years ago, I would have made my own font. But I started 8 years ago. The font I use was quite original for some years, and then started showing up in freaking cereal boxes or TV ads.

*sigh*

I can't help OOTS. Sorry, Rich.; May 31, 2007 2:28:00 PM AST
