Inspiration
I was just tired as **** one night in a degen vc with my friends and thought "what if I did Comic Sans on a keycap set?"
And that's how Geekark Comic Sans came to be :)
Kitting
I wanted to go with an all in one base kit for this set for a few reasons, but if there is a desire for other kits/compatibility I will consider it.

Please consider adding two 1.5u Super keys and a second 1u Alt key as this will add support for macOS and Linux 7u/HHKB support. Would be an instant cop then!

It needs to be Geekarc Chain Mail and the font needs to be multi-color and of different sizes.
Even better if you can figure out how to do flashing text.

Pretty sure that the full paid for versions of MS software include commercial use rights.

Comic Sans is a great font; people complaining about it being used in improper places (like office notices) eventually bled into normiespace, and now they complain about comic sans in any context. It's very silly. I wish people weren't such bandwagon hogs about it.It's ok for what it is (or at least for what it was supposed to be originally, which was certainly not to be as ubiquitous as it has become), and it's not worthy of the hysterical reactions it produces. But it's not a great font at all, by any generally accepted measure of a well-designed font. There are far better cartoony or handwritten fonts out there. There are even some freeware ones based on real cartoonists' handwriting that are much more attractive IMO, and that have clearer readability. Part of Comic Sans' problem is that it's just not believable as a handwritten font; it looks 'fake' and somewhat sterile, and lacks the charm or elegance that it might otherwise have. Yet it still has many of the drawbacks of a real handwritten font, such as the readability issues that come with unvarying line thickness, heavy weightings at join areas that draw the eye unnecessarily, certain letters 'popping' more than others (eg. lower case 's'), eyes (holes) that get crowded out at lower sizes (eg. lower case 'e'), and inconsistent kerning (gaps between different combinations of letters that aid the eye to effortlessly flow from one letter to the next).

Also, please change the R4 1.25u Menu legend to Fn (alternatively: Meta, Code — just as long as it's not Menu, as that's the least versatile legend).
I think including another R4 1u key with a different legend would also be worthwhile (e.g. Meta, like in GMK Muted 2 (https://i.imgur.com/YCMs3Xt.png) and EPBT Be The One (https://i.imgur.com/OFthpLh.jpg)). This helps cover some oddball 60%/65%/... layouts. In fact, since you already have a 2u Shift, it would make sense to also include this key.
Finally, you may want to consider adding 2× 1.5u Super and a second 1u Alt key, for Mac and OG HHKB bottom row users, as well as a R1 1u = numpad key. However, these suggestions are lower priority than the ones listed above.

Please add R3 Pg Up, R4 Pg Dn to the base kit, for 65% and 75% users. (The actual reason is that I wanna have an excuse to buy this set.)Thank you for this really helpful feedback! Expect to see some of these changes implemented.

Here is a good concept, if this will be reverse dyesub, I don't advise buying the white on black.
If the colors are right on the beige set... we'll see.

Glad to see this set is still under development. Is the intention still to have one all encompassing kit or will further additions mean a split?
