mayhapDear People Who Publish Books,
Kindly refrain from setting the text of your book in Comic Sans MS.
Merely using it for, say, the title, or a passage that is intended to be handwritten, is already trashy beyond belief. Mistaking it for an appropriate font for the body text indicates a level of incompetence, not only in your chosen profession of design, but in life itself, so dangerously high that I firmly believe that, for the good of mankind, you should promptly be shot.
Take this nickel and buy yourself a real font, kid.
Snobbily,

P.S. It's bad enough when you drag your own classless oeuvre through the mud like this, but when you reprint fucking Babar, faithful companion of my childhood, in this hellspawned font, you know this means war.

I typed up many a worksheet and letter home at my old job in a third grade classroom, trying to make them as visually attractive as possible. I think there was exactly one font on that computer that I didn't use at one point or another.
