Mandy. Papyrus makes me want to gouge my eyes out. It's like, a thousandy times worse than Comic Sans. It's awful. Even more awful when they spent a gazillion dollars on Avatar... then used Papyrus. Oye. Terrible. Icky. Boo. Gross. I could go on. DO NOT USE PAPYRUS.

salt78

I think subconsciously, Papyrus was the reason I hated Avatar so much.

alixzafiris

I was SO excited to see Avatar (and I won't lie, while there was NO storyline and the blue people inexplicably reminded me of My Little Ponies, the 3D was wicked cool in IMAX) but when I first saw the trailer for it in theatres I let out a "REALLY?! PAPYRUS?! COME OOOOOOOOOOOOON!" and some random dude behind me died laughing.  I think he knew what I was talking about.

So... I shouldn't write my code in comic sans?

Well.  Crap.

salt78

While I never would have thought of it myself, I can totally understand why the blue people reminded you of My Little Ponies. 

alixzafiris

No. No you shouldn't. BUT if you use Papyrus, the entire system will shrivel up and die, so be warned.

shoegal715

sounds like great news!!! Congrats!! 

georgia_bride09

Fingers crossed for you, LC!!

mandysmear

Well, I like papyrus.  I think it’s awesome.

alixzafiris

MY EYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!

wadingmoose

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahaha.a

I thought Avatar sucked.  I couldn't even finish the movie. 

That and Papyrus doesn't bother me at all, neither does Comic Sans... but then again - I don't see them in use very often.

mandysmear

            Alix, don’t be hating on it.  It can be quite pretty in the right setting.  Obviously I wouldn’t use it for everyday or anything.  But, in the right setting I think it could be nice.  And I don’t consider  my taste bad or tacky.  So, I reeeeaaalllllly don’t think it can be that bad. The lazy brown fox quickly jumped over the fence.  I don’t like the y and j next door to each other.  That much I will admit.  Yeah yj jy.  Not a fan of that.

alixzafiris

Pshaw. You like vampires, what do you know?

salt78

Mandy made me cry.

alixzafiris

What the hell is a lazy brown fox jumping over a fence? It's the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Hahahaha. I love you.

<div>HAAAAAAAAAA!!!! I didn't even notice the mistake. Awesome. </div><div>
</div><div>Hahahaha fence.</div>

alixzafiris

I didn't notice either at first but then I read back and I was all "Fence? Dowhatnow?"

mandysmear

I knew there was something not quite right about that sentence. So what exactly is it about papyrus that you graphic hoars don’t like?

alixzafiris

Uhm... that it's visually unappealing? It looks like a blind, one handed child wrote it with a crappy, almost-out-of-ink pen. It's trying too hard?

Basically, just read this, then laugh like I do, hard:

Listen up. I know the sh*t you've been saying behind my back. You think I'm stupid. You think I'm immature. You think I'm a malformed, pathetic excuse for a font. Well think again, nerdhole, because I'm Comic Sans, and I'm the best thing to happen to typography since Johannes f*cking Gutenberg.

You don't like that your coworker used me on that note about stealing her yogurt from the break room fridge? You don't like that I'm all over your sister-in-law's blog? You don't like that I'm on the sign for that new Thai place? You think I'm pedestrian and tacky? Guess the f*ck what, Picasso. We don't all have seventy-three weights of stick-up-my-ass Helvetica sitting on our seventeen-inch MacBook Pros. Sorry the entire world can't all be done in stark Eurotrash Swiss type. Sorry some people like to have fun. Sorry I'm standing in the way of your minimalist Bauhaus-esque fascist snoozefest. Maybe sometime you should take off your black turtleneck, stop compulsively adjusting your Tumblr theme, and lighten the f*ck up for once.

People love me. Why? Because I'm fun. I'm the life of the party. I bring levity to any situation. Need to soften the blow of a harsh message about restroom etiquette? SLAM. There I am. Need to spice up the directions to your graduation party? WHAM. There again. Need to convey your fun-loving, approachable nature on your business' website? SMACK. Like daffodils in motherf*cking spring.

When people need to kick back, have fun, and party, I will be there, unlike your pathetic fonts. While Gotham is at the science fair, I'm banging the prom queen behind the woodshop. While Avenir is practicing the clarinet, I'm shredding "Reign In Blood" on my double-necked Stratocaster. While Univers is refilling his allergy prescriptions, I'm racing my tricked-out, nitrous-laden Honda Civic against Tokyo gangsters who'll kill me if I don't cross the finish line first. I am a sans serif Superman and my only kryptonite is pretentious buzzkills like you.

It doesn't even matter what you think. You know why, jagoff? Cause I'm famous. I am on every major operating system since Microsoft fucking Bob. I'm in your signs. I'm in your browsers. I'm in your instant messengers. I'm not just a font. I am a force of motherf*cking nature and I will not rest until every uptight armchair typographer cock-hat like you is surrounded by my lovable, comic-book inspired, sans-serif badassery.

Enough of this bullsh*t. I'm gonna go get hammered with Papyrus.

Oh Alix. You just made my day.

I read this all like Comic Sans = Kanye West of fonts.

alixzafiris

No. Comic Sans is like um... the Justin Bieber of fonts. Totally hideous and everything that's wrong with typeography but everywhere you turn, BAM, there's some idiot who loves it and doesn't know any better.

alixzafiris

(not that you're an idiot Mandy... you're just typographically challenged ... come visit me in March and I'll teach you!)

Birdie1483

K that's good enough to forward to all of my graphic designer friends :-P

mandysmear

I don't like comic sans!  I think it's ghey. 

I like papyrus.  And I don't care.  You can't make me change my mind.  To me Papyrus is like Britney.  Awesome even though SOME people don't like it.

WHY? Why do they love it so much? I just don't understand? I actually think it has something to do with age. Like the....more mature...crowd thinks is fun and hip. I just don't understand. It's horrible!

Thanks for the message from Comic Sans! I'm passing that gem on.
