Funny! Reminds me of the Mad Book of Word Power and Madvertising.


Aldo Novarese's Stop, via boingboing.net

I've lost the link to the image, but it was a funeral wreath
for a high-ranking Pakistani statesman set in Comic Sans.
It was sent by the government of India.

At least it is one of the few deliberate uses of comic sans ;)

I never really liked Stop, I even dare to say I shudder every time I see it, but this blatant anachronism somehow intrigues me! It reminds me of Matt Groening’s retro-futuristic visions, historistic buildings with 1980s-style digital display clocks attached.
