intelligent design: smencils.
January 21st, 2012 § 3 Comments
OK, if you can get past the fact that these pencils seem to bear text in the reviled Comic Sans font, they might just be the coolest thing ever.
They’re not only cute, but scented too! That’s so 1987-scratch-and-sniff-sticker-esque, but whatever.
Made out of 100% recycled newspaper and plastic, smencils come in dozens and dozens of shades with matching gourmet flavours.
Clean, green, and loads of fun — one of my nieces or nephews will be getting a set of these for a birthday sometime, I’m sure (as if I wouldn’t use this as a thinly veiled excuse to get some for myself).

Totally cute! I loved those scratch & sniff stickers.
You’ll be glad to hear that we have retired COMIC SANS for our new Smencils =).
We wanted all of our loyal Smencils fans to be the first to know that are bringing “Smanimals” to life. Pink Llamanade, Kangarootbeer, Mint Chocolate Chipmunk and friends are on a journey to become real scented stuffed animals. You can track with their busy lives at at Smencils.com or SmanimalWorld.com. And we have a no Comic Sans guarantee.
Thanks for all the Smencil love!

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I feel that your move to a different typeface is a wise and considered step!
The new products sound exciting.
