I will agree that Comic Sans is a very legible typeface at very small sizes. What is interesting is that Comic Sans while was inspired by the lettering used in comic books (from
Watchmen and
The Dark Night Returns), real comic book lettering is still done by hand and rarely features lower-case letters.
As far as Comic Sans itself goes, I think it is best if used sparingly for a specific effect (such as to indicate text handwritten by a character within a story). To me, one of the reasons for the dislike for Comics Sans is its massive overuse (I often see it used on stores for their large lighted signs).
