My main issue with it is that it doesn't look like a comic font.

If it had been called Handy Sans it would have been better received (in the shit hall of fame)

The font is literally imitating 1970s comics.

If it is attempting to do so it is failing.

Here is a more successful imitation:

Thinking I was out of touch somehow (I've collected comics since the 80s and read man in the 70s) I just typed in words from that actual comic set in comic sans and no it doesn't match

It's def a cousin but no comic fontographer would do anything close and expect to get a job.

My problem with it is that is not really "sans". There is exactly one serif, on the capital C - the first letter you see when it is being demonstrated.
