This is surprisingly not bad...

I've been using it for a while. It's pretty great.
That looks sooooooo nice
Who knew? Just make it monospace.
I unironically really like Comic Mono despite not super being a fan of Comic Sans (not cos it looks bad, I think it's actually really nice looking, just overused)
I keep thinking about switching to this font. I use Fira Code atm, and I'd miss the ligatures, but this genuinely looks a a lot more readable
There was a YouTube programmer I used to watch called funfunfunction. He'd do a weekly video where he'd take a task, a framework, and a "handicap". One episode I remember someone suggested "comic sans lol" , which he set up, but it looked good
If the font weight were ratcheted down a little, I'd be pretty happy with it.
So despite the hate Comic Sans gets, squiggly fonts make it easier for dyslexics to read. Non-dyslexics can experience a similar effect by reading a book in serif then a non-serif font. I hate Comic Sans too lol but do what makes your life easier.

That actually looks pretty solid, will have to try it out.
I'm normally quite easy with fonts, for monospace it's usually Fira Code, but for certain tasks I like to use something different.
For instance, terminals usually it's ProFont, and for IRC it's Fantasque Sans. Fantasque Sans is kinda like Comic Sans.
Hmm... maybe I am a bit particular about fonts after all.
Need to give this a go at work tomorrow!
Saving that font for my e-reader tablet.
Suuuper legible and fast to read.
Seriously, for coding I use daily Fantasque Sans Mono, which is based on Comic Sans. I love it.
Great to find another Comic Mono user! It's super easy to read. I've been using it in IDEs / Terminal for a while now.
I've even set up Stylus scripts to use it in GitHub and other sites as I find weird going back to the "normal" code fonts.
the very typeface you’ve been trained to recognize since childhood What does this mean? I feel like the one we learned from childhood would be Times New Roman since every teacher I had required that font.
I don't know how things are today but when I was a kid, some of my textbooks and many of my worksheets were in comic sans.
somehow this doesn't offend my eyes the way comic sans usually does, so I guess that's a win?
A dude posted his neofetch on a Linux community and he uses fucking comic sans for his terminal. Probably will rot in hell
I unironically love Comic Mono. I am not dyslexic, I have good eyesight, but I feel like I can read code so much more easily with it versus most other monospaced fonts.
It's really weird to me how Internet sometimes decide to hate on things just for the sake of it.
I wouldn't be using it myself, because I'm not a fan of hand-written style fonts. But, I see no problem with Comic Sans.
I love Comic Mono. I use Comic Code - it's not free but it does support ligatures, which was worth it to me. The legibility boost is excellent.
Shit I might just try this out. I hope my colleagues don’t notice.
Yeah, I'm surprised how much I like the look of this. I'm into it.
Nothing wrong with that. I personally couldn’t switch to it though.
Does it support ligatures??
I'd love to see someone code in the actual Comic Sans rather than the awesomely adapted Comic Mono. Indentation be damned!
Look what you have done! I used Operator Mono for Italics. I kind of like this!
Wow, that's kind of amazing. I'll be trying it out now. Thanks!
WolfgangsChannel also recently said he used a comics sans-lile font
