Today's Font Joke
Sunday, June 20, 2010
"I'm Comic Sans, Asshole," from McSweeney's Internet Tendency. (This was sent to us separately by Shirin Dubbin, CKHB, Derek Gentry, Barbara Ann Wright, and like three other people--sorry if we forgot you! WHAT A DELIGHT IT IS TO BE KNOWN SO WELL BY OUR BELOVED AUTHOR-FRIENDS!)
Also, eagle-eyed Author-friend James alerted us that Tom Gabor, originator of beloved-by-Author-friends font joke "I shot the serif," is selling prints of this item here.
the Sheldon webcomic also does a series of font jokes...

Font jokes are a comedian's Courier sabotage
That made me so intensely happy. Thank you.
"I'm Comics Sans, Asshole" reminds me of Aimee Bender's brilliant piece (also about varying fonts) "Some Romans" in ZYZZYVA a few years back.
So. Awesome.
