Comic Sans was created by the guy above, Vincent Connare. Connare is an American font designer where he studied at New York Institute of Technology and then his masters degree in type design at the University of Reading. Connare is responsible for Comic Sans and the Trechuchet MS font which you can find on Microsoft Windows and Mac OS as a pre-installed type font.
Comic Sans was released in 1994 by the Microsoft Corporation. Comic Sans is classified as a casual, non-connecting script, and was designed to intimate the historical look of the comic book lettering for the use in informal documents. Since Comic Sans is available through Microsoft windows 95, the font has become widely used and is now being criticized for it.
After reading several websites and why people are so against using Comic Sans is because it is widely used and used incorrectly. I mean what do you expect if it is a free font when you purchase a Microsoft computer or lap top. It is a type face that does not look to serious and fun to use. Similar to Helvetica on being widely used and in appropriate use of the type face. If you think about it, there are no written rules for the average person to read and refer to when it comes to what font is used for what situation.
