Seriously, though, Comic Sans was originally designed to be legible at the smallest possible font size, and the lack of hard lines makes it easier to read!

Yep, it shares a lot of characteristics with fonts like Dyslexie, but without some of the more irritating (but helpful) gravity additions that throw off non-dyslexic readers and/or just look odd.

The additions throw off some dyslexic readers too, I've always had an even harder time reading purpose-built dyslexia fonts. Comic mono is top tier for me, it still looks stupid but the readability is incredible.
