I Shot the Serif, But I Did Not Shoot the Enmity
"Comic Sans has long been the 'Macarena' of fonts. Type aficionados don’t like it, the way coffee connoisseurs don’t like Starbucks. It is the font everyone loves to hate. But I love to love it. More than the typeface itself, I love the idea of Comic Sans: a set of letters that can make people suddenly intrigued, and sometimes cross. No other font gets people so worked up. When was the last time you had an argument over Garamond or Calibri?" Simon Garfield in The Atlantic (Gift Link): Comic Sans Got the Last Laugh. (I'm a lifelong Mac user. No Microsoft fonts for me. It's always been Tekton or bust.)

"At manufacturer Anwar Khawaja Industries, stitchers get paid roughly 160 rupees—about $0.75—per ball. Each one takes three hours to complete. At three balls a day, a stitcher can earn about 9,600 rupees per month. Even for a poor region, the wages are low. A living wage for Sialkot is around 20,000 rupees a month, according to researcher estimates."
