I can't stand to read it, but typing it brings back memories of my later childhood (when I thought it was cool).

Tbh I'm considering reforming the normal black/white themes around comic sans.

Much as I typically hate Comic Sans, I actually really like this skin. Genuinely, it's really aesthetically pleasing. I don't know how come the font looks so... palatable, here!

The girl in the header's shit-munching grin does bother me, however.

Glad to see that I'm not the only one who thinks that this grin must have come straight out of hell.

But yeah, as weird as it sounds, the general theme per se is actually not bad (regarding the colours).

I still don't see why people hate comic sans.

Because now it looks like everyone here is an incompetent fourth-grader trying to make a statement. Is it a kindergartener's handwriting, or is it Arial? It's neither; it's right in between the two. It's in the uncanny valley of fonts.

Ah, Comic Sans. Makes me all nostalgic about the late 90s.

Fonts are serious Buisness.

I disagree. It's a representation of poor design choice and a fundamental misunderstanding of what's aesthetically appealing. (Not a slam on XJ, the font is perfect for this April Fool's prank. Nice design job.)

Saying Comic Sans "is just a font" is like looking at a big bowl of shit on a breakfast table and saying "it's just fertilizer."
