Please accept my apologies for subjecting you to this...

            Since these widely-abused childish typefaces are sometimes mistaken for one another, I offer this comparison...

On the bottom, straight out of Redmond, Washington, USA, is the typeface we all love to hate; that lame excuse for a comic-book font.

On top, hailing from Cupertino, California, USA, is Apple's attempt to mimic grade-school blackboard handwriting. It has its own unique style (???), but from a distance it appears to be inspired by that font that shouldn't have left Microsoft's R&D department.

Please forgive me if you feel queasy and have to run for the nearest toilet. :)

Excuse me while I remove Comic Sans from this laptop...
