I'm not sure if it's the NetBSD crowd or some general crypto-focused community, but there's a theme going on about presenting and publishing on security in comic sans. The goal is to see what you are more focused on: the slickness of the presentation or the correctness of the code.

I remember coming across quite a few networking-related slide sets that were almost exclusively in comic sans; they might've come from a widely used book, and it's not too far of a stretch to think that the trend spread over into security too.

many OpenBSD developers use comic sans intentionally in their presentations.

That's it. I said NetBSD, but meant OpenBSD.
