- ricksplat 11y agoHey I thought it was Comic Chat that gave us Comic Sans … now that was fun. http://venturebeat.com/2015/10/20/20-years-ago-i-created-the-best-font-in-the-world/ http://venturebeat.com/2015/10/20/20-years-ago-i-created-the... > As things transpired, Comic Sans didn’t actually make it into Microsoft Bob — but it did make it into 3D Movie Maker, which was similar to Microsoft Bob insofar as you had cartoon characters you could move around and do things with. The font then made it into Microsoft Comic Chat, which was similar to AOL chat, in that you could type messages to others on the Internet.
