    So, why aren't the credits in Comic Sans?
  • joehollier plus 7 months ago
    i really wish that they were, the deadline came for my class and i only had enough time to make whats in the video, i also sort of thought that the only people to see this would be the kids in my class and some friends, but i really wish they were in there, especially the music credits or one for my teacher

    For the first time in my life I actually want to meet a font! You're damn ugly, but I like your attitude :)
    Maybe you should start a carreer in Stand up Comedy? It fits you well! ;)

    Animation - A.

    Voiceover - C+. Either needed to be angrier or more blase. Sort of hit neither.

    A bit more talent and you would have been able to pull this off without the gratuitous f-bombs.
