Because it's the best font ever invented, for everything. And because I know nothing about typography.

I also use it for coding and love it: https://github.com/dtinth/comic-mono-font

Wholeheartedly recommend trying it. For me, it helped with me stopping misreading words and swapping letters/words.

There's also an interesting side-effect. People tend to unfairly ridiculize Comic Sans. So the content you write on it needs to be really good to breakthrough this initial prejudice.

I do! Glad you asked!

Yes. Yes. YES. Absolutely loved it.

Here's a list of some of my favorite lines:

Hamilton doesn't hesitate
He exhibits no restraint
He takes and he takes and he takes
And he keeps winning anyway
He changes the game
He plays and he raises the stakes

Why do you write like you're running out of time?
Write day and night like you're running out of time?

And when my time is up
Have I done enough?

Eliza, I don't have a dollar to my name
An acre of land, a troop to command, a dollop of fame
All I have's my honor, a tolerance for pain
A couple of college credits and my top-notch brain

You have no control who lives, who dies, who tells your story
I know that we can win
I know that greatness lies in you
But remember from here on in, history has its eyes on you

Love doesn't discriminate
Between the sinners and the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
And we keep loving anyway

Death doesn't discriminate
Between the sinners and the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
And we keep living anyway

Here's also a list of things you should see after you've watched the musical:

I did high school at the Technical School of the Federal University of Minas Gerais (Coltec-UFMG). There, I graduated in Technician in Systems Development. I'm grateful I had the opportunity to go there and glad I made the choice (one of the best I made in my life!).

Currently, I'm doing BSc Computer Science in a distance learning program in Goldsmiths, University of London.
