<p>89.185.37.93: /* Transcript */</p> <hr /> <div>{{comic<br /> | number =590<br /> | date =May 29, 2009<br /> | title =Papyrus<br /> | image =papyrus.png<br /> | titletext =I secretly, deep in my guilty heart, like Papyrus and don't care if it's overused. [Cue hate mail in beautifully-kerned Helvetica.]<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==Explanation==<br /> One of the comics in the &quot;My Hobby&quot; series, this one touches on the fact that {{w|Papyrus (typeface)|Papyrus}} is considered to be overused by many typography geeks, including the font's own creator. Pretending that he doesn't know that, [[Cueball]] gives [[Ponytail]] a heartfelt card written in that font just to see her twitch.<br /> <br /> The title text says that Randall actually ''likes'' Papyrus, even if it ''is'' overused, and refers to {{w|Helvetica}}, another commonly-used sans-serif font.<br /> <br /> (apropos the roll-over text joke) I essentially have a Master's derege in undeclared . It actually says systems engineering but that's really the same thing. I picked it as a bridge from EE to just about anything But I was unable to find a PhD program in just about anything so I picked climate instead.</div>
