Part of the reason why I never bothered watching Firefly/Serenity was that it used that Papyrus font.

i once had an instructor write me a letter of recommendation in Comic Sans. it said a lot of very nice things but i was a bit nervous about sending it out.
upthread someone mentioned Comic Sans is ideal for dyslexics because of its "readability" -- this is true apparently! it's the default font on the transcriber software i use at work.
