A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org. It will make its
way, through the magic of mirroring, to a location near you in the
next day or two.
Thanks for the upload.

The comicsans package makes Microsoft's Comic Sans font
available to LaTeX2e. comicsans supports Roman text,
boldface text, small-caps text, and -- with a little
extra effort -- italic text; it supports both Latin and
Cyrillic alphabets; and, it supports mathematical
typesetting with Comic Sans to the best of the font's
ability.

comicsans – Use Microsoft Comic Sans font
MicroSoft Comic Sans is a TrueType font that is readily available on the net (MicroSoft no longer distribute it in isolation from Windows, but there is no restriction on distribution of existing copies). This package provides metrics and maps to use the font with pdf(La)TeX, in a variety of text shapes, and (to some extent) in mathematics.
