And even by that standard, there's better-looking fonts for that "written in crayon" aesthetic.

Also, allegedly, the programmer who created Comic Sans based his work on Watchmen's Dave Gibbons' lettering. Gibbons, in turn, said he didn't see why they didn't just use that font, because the one they ended up with was crap. His actual font is available online, but it costs an obscene amount of money and I don't feel like looking for a free version of it. That said, I'm sure there are decent-looking comic lettering-styled fonts available for free.
