In its defense, it's a good font for kids because the lowercase a looks like they are taught to write. There's only a couple fonts like that (if you stick with preinstalled fonts in Word). But for anyone over 10, no, just no.
It's universal. Pretty much anyone who knows how to change the font of anything (ie; not my grandmother) will change it to something other than Comic Sans.

When I was student teaching, my master teacher used Comic Sans for everything. Quizzes, worksheets, letters home, etc. She made me use it too, going so far as to draw up a contract about all the ways I needed to run the classroom. The contract was, obviously, in Comic Sans.
The Goodnight... [insert your state or city name here] books for kids all use Comic Sans. Otherwise, I haven't seen it anywhere in a while, not even in DD's school flyers.
I received a resume in Comic Sans. It went into the trash can before I could actually read anything.
No way.
Not even joking. I received one that was in pink. Like pretty pink. I at least read that one to see if the person had a sense of humor and addressed the pink text (they didn't).
I don't mind comic sans for kid stuff (like flyers for childrens events or something) but I hate it for anything else. Nothing should ever get sent out to parents with comic sans.. Just NO
