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!

Stumbled into this site while looking through other comments and apparently it was designed for the speech bubbles of a cartoon dog, not sure about the "legible at small sizes" claim - http://www.connare.com/whycomic.htm

My eyes just can't adjust to this.

someone at work was sharing their screen and I think they were using this font

it was pretty jarring to me, but if it helps people read easier that's cool!
