That's very funny! In our work it is not very often I use Comic Sans although I use many cartoon fonts.
But this time around when I was designing our website I needed a comic font for the typesetting of the copious amount of copy. Whereas I had used other fonts previously I used Comic Sans this go around to make it up-loadable by every computer out there. And wouldn't you know it - my website guy decided to dice and slice the text up as images instead of posting it as text... meaning I could have used any font I wished no matter how obscure it may have been.
Oh well... maybe next time around I use one of my real favorites instead. www.imaginationcorporation.ca

It is horribly overused on everything from business cards to signs, generally by anyone who is not a professional designer or artist.
Seems like 9 times out of ten, someone brings in a powerpoint, or word document that is done in Comic Sans.

It's not the fonts fault. It doesn't volunteer to be picked. Blame the people who don't know what's appropriate when dealing with a rabid raccoon! That's the real problem as I see it. Just remember, peanut butter and jelly has it's place too.

I can't find it right now, but I once saw someone modify comic sans into "penis sans".
I'm sure you can imagine what it looked like.
It just reflected an opinion of comic sans.
