Holy Crap, It’s the Inventor of Comic Sans (At ROFLThing-NYC)

 Zoh mah gawd, guyz.

Here at ROFLThing, there are occasionally moments in which something so ridiculous, so fantastic happens, that  it occasionally takes us a weekend to sit down with a whole bottle of bourbon and try to sort out how things got so awesome (and how to announce it).

That is to say, we just effing confirmed the guy who invented Comic Sans to keynote at ROFLThing-NYC.

That’s right, Vincent Connare, the creator of internet anti-darling font Comic Sans, will be speaking on Jan 24th in NYC about the cultural impact of Comic Sans and his experiences as the man behind the much maligned font, as well as the ongoing campaigns against his creation.

Additionally, if you’re a real font-geek, Vincent’s also the man behind the implementation of Trebuchet MS. He was also on the original team that invented Webdings. Not kidding. 

Anyways, more ridiculousness to follow all this week. As always, tickets aren’t available yet, but if you want to reserve a space, drop a line to tim AT roflcon DOT org and we’ll get you on the list for first-wave alerts when they go on sale around New Years.
