"The inspiration came at the shock of seeing Times New Roman used in an inappropriate way."<p>I love the irony that Comic Sans was born because the designer was shocked at seeing another font used inappropriately.

I found it kind of weird that he showed anger at the end at OS/X copying his font, when he had just admitted that much of his inspiration came from comic books. Is this not the pot calling the kettle black?<p>That aside, it was an interesting story.

Has anyone else noticed how many great articles start out with "when I worked at Microsoft?"

It was designed as a floor wax.
