RSS: Real advantage for marketing and PR

Neville Hobson on RSS and marketing:

"The new reality is that blogs and RSS present a phenomenal opportunity to any organization to embrace these new communication channels and engage quickly, directly and effectively with customers, investors, partners and other audiences. If you can't start a blog yet, the one thing you should do is RSS-enable the corporate PR and marketing information on your website - and get your press releases out via webfeeds as well as by traditional means."

Anyone recognize this font?

Several years ago I scanned my old "Dexter" cartoons, which I'm now re-publishing here every Friday. My hand-written captions weren't very readable after scanning, so I re-did them using a cartoonish font - and I no longer have this font, nor do I remember its name.

So, does anyone recognize the font used in this cartoon?

Update: Brian Varvel pointed me to Blambot, which offers an excellent set of free comic fonts - many of which are better than my original choice. Thanks, Brian!
