Our West Coast correspondent spotted this “tempête dans un verre d’eau” about Comic Sans on the Dangerous Minds website. Apparently there’s been quite the little debate over the font used on some “I can’t breathe” tee-shirts.
The Typemaniac doesn’t give a hoot one way or another (he would have used Banco) but he’s happy for anything that promotes public awareness of typography.
Idiotic hipsters complain about the font of ‘I Can’t Breathe’ protest shirts | Dangerous Minds.
MrMild sent us this link about the Comic Sans shirts:

But what we found most interesting was this sentence: “The study’s authors noted that test subjects who read text written in Comic Sans remembered the text better than those who read the words in Times New Roman.”
