Facts
Comic Sans owes its existence and creation to the epic failure Microsoft Bob. Bob was a yellow cartoon, Bill Gates-glasses wearing user 'guide', designed to help people bend their heads around PCs. The text in Bob's speech bubbles was intended to be written in Times New Roman, but designer Vincent Connare thought such a serious text for a cartoon was ridiculous. So he set out to create a more kid-friendly font, and so it was that Comic Sans was born.
