Imagine being bored to tears as a guard, then seeing this just pop up and be left with zero explanation.
“Sir, I saw a… a…”
I swear to god if one more private brings up UFOs…
“…a screaming skeleton that teleported.”Vanished*, you can’t be sure it teleported or just became invisible or stopped existing.
“…thank… thank you for the clarification sir, I feel much better…”
Fun fact: The Watchmen was the first comic book to use Comic Sans
Fun fact edit: I lied.
Watchmen came out almost a decade before Comic Sans existed, it was hand-lettered by Dave Gibbons. In fact, it directly inspired the creation of Comic Sans according to Wikipedia.
Holy shit I’m an idiot.
I just realized it’s comic as in books and not comic as in funny.
You’re not an idiot-- That distinction isn’t discernable from the name per se, that information is concealed within some relatively obscure typography lore!
Consider this quote from Wikipedia:
Although many people believe that the “Comic” in Comic Sans refers to the lettering common for comic books at the time, font designer Brian Richardson revealed that this was not the case: While speaking on a panel at the 1999 Microsoft DesignTalks conference for designers, he said “We just wanted to make something fun, that people could use to inject a little bit of humor into their documents. It was actually called ‘Funny Sans Serif’ during development, but Pat convinced me last minute to change it to “Comic Sans” so that it would appear higher in the font picker.”
Now, Wikipedia doesn’t tell you that because I just made it up, but it would be totally plausible! Then some of us would be talking about how we thought it was about comic books. So you’re not an idiot, IMO.
Bravo, the bit about changing the name so it would appear higher up in the list lent this a lot of credibility indeed.
All typography lore is obscure.
I thought it was from comics as in newspaper comics, which are usually funny and used to be referred to sometimes as “the funnies.”

I love this calendar
What a great graphic novel.
Nothing unusual at the perimeter.
Ummm … what kind of decorations should I be putting up? Is there a playlist of songs I could put on?

I’ve been on my phone a lot lately and haven’t had time to look or listen to this link … what the hell … I’m both amazed shocked and confused … imagine if all digital information was lost in the future and the only information left was this video.
A true role model
Out of the ordinary I mean
Been there
