I am considering using Comic Sans all the time now for its ironic value.

  It also helps recall content better than when using arial. Here is the highlight of a recent study: http://www.economist.com/node/17248892?story_id=17248892&fsrc=rss http://www.economist.com/node/17248892?story_id=17248892&#38... and here is the study itself: http://cwl.cogsci.rpi.edu/cogsci10/cogsci10_proceedings/papers/0652/paper0652.pdf http://cwl.cogsci.rpi.edu/cogsci10/cogsci10_proceedings/pape...

    To be fair, the article says that something that is "difficult to read" is what helps recall, not comic sans per se.

      Indeed. The authors used Comic Sans and Bodoni MT as their "difficult to read" fonts and see no difference between the two (but both were better than the "easier to read" Arial).
