Papyrus
I secretly, deep in my guilty heart, like Papyrus and don't care if it's overused. [Cue hate mail in beautifully-kerned Helvetica.]
Title text: I secretly, deep in my guilty heart, like Papyrus and don't care if it's overused. [Cue hate mail in beautifully-kerned Helvetica.]

Explanation

One of the comics in the "My Hobby" series, this one touches on the fact that 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.

The title text says that Randall actually likes Papyrus, even if it is overused, and refers to Helvetica, another commonly-used sans-serif font.

(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.
