Criticism of the anti-comic sans trend

Comic Sans was later objected to by some graphic designers who wanted to curtail or even remove the use of the font, pointing out that its poor design and incidental use in Microsoft fonts created incorrect use of the font, for example in the lining of documents and in signatures. Other type designers have suggested that Comic Sans is not a true handwritten typeface, as the strokes are consistent across the letters, and the spacing between letters is the same.
The Boston Phoenix reports that this trend began with two Indianapolis graphic designers, Dave Combs and Holly Combs, who, after noticing the massive misuse of the typeface, set up a campaign called "Ban Comic Sans" (Boycott Comic Sans). "(Boycott Comic Sans). The trend has led to more critical voices, but there are also supporters, such as the Comic Sans Appreciation Society.
After Snog Blog interviewed Vincent Cornell himself, Dave admitted that he had used images from his website without Cornell's permission, and that the reason Cornell didn't give permission was that the content of Dave's emails didn't match the purpose of his use. Dave was later inspired by Shepard Fairey's 'Obey Giant' street graffiti art.
