Initially it was picked up by the team working on Microsoft 3D Movie Maker for use in speech balloons. I started to make the font in October 1994. I also noticed that many people were inappropriately using drafting lettering in comic speech balloons. There was a consistent style used in comics, which was quite unlike the style of lettering you see in newspaper cartoon strips. As Microsoft Creative Writer had a need for fun fonts, I had an idea to make a lettering script similar to the lettering used by the major comic books. During 1994 I noticed that a large number of cartoon/comic style software titles were under development at Microsoft.
A note from Vincent Connare, Comic Sans' designer. Although it might be seen as a novelty typeface, which is great for titles, it's also extremely readable on-screen at small sizes, making it a useful text face.
Comic Sans MS is the groovy script font which was first supplied with the Windows 95 Plus! pack.
