That may be the worst interview I've read. To sum it up:

"Comic Sans has its purpose. I still design fonts, and I do it as a business not as an art. I hate driving."

Just pepper that summary with typographical errors, formatting mistakes, and then remove all the substance. There, I saved you a click-through.

A great font is one that fit’s it’s purpose.

Sentences like that burn my eyes in any font.

Maybe the author just really likes apostrophes and doesn't think they get enough usage.

When it comes to Comic Sans, this monologue cracks me up every time: http://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/im-comic-sans-asshole

What I got from this is that this guy does not have any passion for typography at all. It's a job title for him.

re: "For every person that doesn’t like Comic Sans there are two that love it."

Pro tip: defensive answers like this don't help your case.

I'd like to see the survey results for actual designers; I suspect the dislike to like ratio would be in excess of 99-1.

[talmand → gallerytungsten]

I believe he wasn't referring to designers in that equation. Based on the number of times I've seen Comic Sans used by non-designers I would say he may be correct.
