  openbsd has a funny cultural meme around comic sans. i've seen other writings on it but this might be the origin: https://www.openbsd.org/papers/bsdcan14-libressl/mgp00025.html https://www.openbsd.org/papers/bsdcan14-libressl/mgp00025.ht... some of the openbsd folks use it as a weapon in the fight to prioritize content over presentation. i got a chuckle out of it and it convinced me to stop thoughtlessly hating on comic sans, easy as it is.
