Pretty good. I like [Terminus](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminus_%28typeface%29) and [Gentium](http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=Gentium).

[Here’s a dark, violent, profane comic strip about Comic Sans.](http://achewood.com/index.php?date=07052007) It is, of course, Achewood.
