You are welcome

What is stopping you from doing one… I am sure we are not subscribed to all the same blogs.
Well it was the end of March so maybe you were just a bit behind
Vivien,
I think I like Comic Sans actually, it’s so pretty and easy to read and it has that comic feel to it. Don’t you agree
inspirationbit on Apr 1, 2008 said:
I do agree with the comic feel part

I wish I could thumbs up that rap on youtube more than once lol. Great article, great collection.
kristarella on Apr 1, 2008 said:
It’s a bit scary, but the comic sans doesn’t look too awful in some places.
At a normal size and weight it’s kinda ok, when it gets bold or large it’s a bit much.
