Only if it Works

Incidental Comics

by Grant Snider, who (with tongue firmly planted in cheek, I’m sure) doesn’t  “advocate drug use – unless it leads to great works of literature”.

A Defense of Comic Sans

I used this font on all kinds of library lit around the school for years. It was easily read by the little guys and didn’t seem to offend the big kids. I stopped a few years ago, just because I got tired of it and not because I had any ideas it wasn’t ‘cool’, but it looks like I might have jumped off just in time for it to become OK again.
