Comic Sans 2010 continues to take the world media by storm
Ascender Corporation (Illinois, USA): Ascender releases new OpenType font pack for Microsoft Office 2010 with Expanded Super Comic Sans 2010
( 09 July 2010 New York City)
Superstar basketball player LeBron James is leaving his home-town team of Cleveland, and Cavs owner Dan Gilbert penned a scathing letter to his "former hero" and posted it online.The letter was penned in the oft-maligned font "Comic Sans" - and Gilbert's choice of font may be getting more buzz than the letter itself. Designer Vincent Connare is the inventor of Comic Sans - he discusses Gilbert's choice and why his font is so controversial.
The front page article of Mr. Connare was the number one read and emailed website story on 17..20th April 2009 across America and Europe.
Radio shows in America started talking about Comic Sans, from Steve Czaban of Fox Sports national broadcast, Luke Burbank's Seattle KIRO radio, and then there was the Comic Sans face-off with Dave and Holly Combs of Ban Comic Sans on NPR/BBC World Service.

Lost in the vitriol over the letter Dan Gilbert wrote to Cleveland Cavaliers fans Thursday night is the counter-vitriol from tech geeks about the type of font he used - the dreaded Comic Sans.
(London) Vincent talked with George and Mark on 10 August 2009 on 6 Music.
He answered George's odd questions like:
'What is your favourtie cheeze?' , 'What's your favourite movie?', 'Do you like to rave? Vincent?' and 'did you see the movie Con Air?'. Top Geezer!
The Guardian (London), Tuesday 28, April 2009
Editorial: Most of this paper is in Guardian Egyptian, but in the interests of typographical diversity the two words above in blue are in Comic Sans. Look closely, for this is a typeface under attack. Designers hate Comic Sans, for it undercuts the sanctity of their craft... Its inventor Vincent Connare argues, "Some like Rothko; others enjoy pictures of dogs playing poker."
Sydney: On Wednesday 13 May 2009 Vincent Connare talked with Alan Sauders of the ABC Radio National, By Design; a weekly Australian radio show devoted to design and the creative process. Listen live on Wednesday 13 May at 15:00 EST (Australia) repeated Saturday 9:00 EST or on the Podcast under 13 May 2009 show links.
