Mike Lacher has one funny piece of creative writing posted at Timothy McSweeney’s site where he imagines a monologue by everyone’s favorite font, Comic Sans.

Just finished giving it a read and I have to say, that was pretty hilarious.

I’m not going to defend Comic Sans. It’d be better if it didn’t have any lowercase. But still, just download Crime Fighter already:

I’m just surprised that the “S” and “F” bomb were dropped on the home page of Major Spoilers.
Well, Comic Sans, let me just retort by saying this:
#$&@ you. $&@$ Papyrus. $&@# every font that looks like you. And if you ever bring your silly ass around here with your goddamn goofy half-bloop loops and swirls that look like a nine-year old got drunk and redesigned the alphabet using using excrement on the window of a moving car, I. WILL. END. YOU.
And by the way, your girlfriend Impact? I nailed her. In your car. Wearing your Ed Hardy hat. So $&@$ you, $&@$ you right in the ear.
Punk.
