Aww I see you must be under 15 . Throughout the nineties , everyone started to do their office stuff on the computer . Windows 95 , 98 and later XP were the most mainstream OS as you may know and rightly so , it was damn convenient . Microsoft came up with a equally nice word processing software , Word . So what ' s the point ? Well while everyone was happy using Word on Windows , the typeface set provided by Microsoft was somewhat limited and Comic Sans MS was the only one that was nice and original yet legible and not weird . It started to be used in informal stuff such as library notices or flyers . Then students used it for their science class posters , then teachers for their courses etc etc etc . My point is that before we knew it it was F everywhere . Even in places where it was borderline inappropriate such as an invoice . This is how a font that was meant to bring a light touch to the then austere world of computers became annoying and cringe worthy . Here is my advice there is now a widely and easily accessible heap of fonts on dedicated websites . If you have to do some paper , avoid Comic Sans , or else it will be seen as a half passed attempt to bring originality , at worst a cringy troll .
