It's interesting that you added serifs and monospacing to a sans serif font. It's almost like comic sans but with all the things that make it comic sans removed.

Well it is Comic Mono after all, not Comic Sans Mono :)
Yeah, I'm surprised how much I like the look of this. I'm into it.
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
Surprisingly readable. Some of the letters are really close to each other, and multiple capitals together look odd. I will try it 🙂
"Serious tho, Comic sans" four words I didn't expect today. Thanks for the heads up on legibility as a small font.
somehow this doesn't offend my eyes the way comic sans usually does, so I guess that's a win?
Need to give this a go at work tomorrow!
A dude posted his neofetch on a Linux community and he uses fucking comic sans for his terminal. Probably will rot in hell
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.

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
Saving that font for my e-reader tablet.
Suuuper legible and fast to read.
If the font weight were ratcheted down a little, I'd be pretty happy with it.
Um, can I get this to work as a default Lemmy typeface? I love it.
I also like Comic Sans in general, what can I say I guess that makes me a giant Eldritch tentacle monster.
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.
This is surprisingly not bad...
I've been using it for a while. It's pretty great.
Might have to learn to code, love me some Comic sans
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.
someone at work was sharing their screen and I think they were using this font
it was pretty jarring to me, but if it helps people read easier that's cool!
Wow, that's kind of amazing. I'll be trying it out now. Thanks!
Me too man! Been using it for over a year now, coming from Fira Code. It's actually a real enjoyable font to look at.
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.
That's actually not bad.
Look what you have done! I used Operator Mono for Italics. I kind of like this!
Stumbled into this site while looking through other comments and apparently it was designed for the speech bubbles of a cartoon dog, not sure about the "legible at small sizes" claim - http://www.connare.com/whycomic.htm
Nothing wrong with that. I personally couldn’t switch to it though.
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.
Goddamn it...
