Comics do not use lowercase letters. The lowercase letters in Comic
Sans were invented after the font was originally designed so it could
be used in Microsoft Bob. There's no reason *not* to ban the lowercase
character of Comic Sans, and so taste demands we do. And even if taste
didn't demand it, association with Microsoft Bob apparently does, tho I
have no experience with that. (I have seen some comics using lowercase
Comic Sans letters. They're just as much a crime against humanity as
when people write their signs reminding us to turn the lights off as we
leave (or god forbid a high school essay).)
