It was free to enter, but $5
to leave. If attendees tried to
escape without paying, the
ticket-checker was wearing
roller skates to chase them

sical or, at least, video with a
live action training montage
complete with the Font Mafi a
fi nger-snapping chorus.
Members of the McNary
High School Font Club came
up with a unique way to raise
money and, they hope, re-
move comic sans fonts from
school buses. To help with the
effort, there was merch in-

ers and signed photos of the
cast.
Font Club: The Musical is the
story of Wingdings, a nerdy,
unintelligible font, being bul-

There were many tears
spilled by the roughly two
dozen attendees – laugh-

Members of Font Club ex-
pect it will take more screen-
ings to achieve their ultimate
goal of purging comic sans
from buses.
