Is Lobster the new Comic Sans?

[Jonopen]

Funnily enough I've not used 'Lobster' (yet!) but had noticed it's growing popularity.

Before I knew about the vehement dislike (by the design world) for Comic Sans I regularly used it for all sorts of printed and screen based materials without any complaint or worry. I had always felt uncomfortable with the look of it, but because it was everywhere (like Helvetica) and was under the impression it was dyslexic friendly (see link below), I thought it was an ok font to use.

I obviously I don't use it now, although I have warmed a little to 'the new Comic sans', ‘Comic Neue’ for quick annotations etc (see silly example below!).

Here's an article about Comic Sans from a educational use perspective:
