Microsoft Comic Chat next, please

• metadat 4y ago
  I didn't get this reference, thought it'd be something about comic sans, haha. In case others are unfamiliar, too: > Microsoft Comic Chat is a graphic IRC client created by Microsoft, first released with Internet Explorer 3.0 in 1996. Comic Chat was developed by Microsoft Researcher David Kurlander, with Microsoft Research's Virtual Worlds Group and later a group he managed in Microsoft's Internet Division. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Comic_Chat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Comic_Chat

    But it is about Comic Sans! As mentioned in the article, Comic Sans was shipped with Comic Chat to render the text. It just managed to outlive the associated software.

    Comic Sans was used in Comic Chat, however the first (documented and published) user of Comic Sans was ... 3D Video. Thus the circle to this discussion closes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comic_Sans#History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comic_Sans#History
