At approximately 08.30 this morning the lovable rebel of the design world passed away. Mr Sans, a well known graphic comedian has been in poor health in recent years, media exclusion and a mass designer repulsion had seen his worldwide popularity dwindle.
Online petitions from websites such as bancomicsans.com to completely eradicate the font helped to make him one of graphic designs most famous typographic recluse’s. Last month, issues about of his weight and size appeared in alot of the celeb gossip magazines. Then his disappearance from many of the latest Marvel and DC kids comic issues alerted his type family members to suspect the worst.
He was found hung by his own question mark in the early hours of this morning in his $35million Hollywood mansion. He will be missed by all. His contribution to lettering will always be remembered.
A representative from Microsoft gave this short statement.
Comic Sans, the man who brought a smile to everyones typeface.

Mr. Clip Art is thought to be distraught at the lost of his side-kick.

I wonder what typeface they’ll choose for his headstone?
