I am feeling really dumb for asking: the punchline of the comic is clearly that there is something terribly wrong with the typesetting of the business card, but what is it?

The font on the business card is Papyrus.

  ...which is a quite distinctive font that has shipped with Mac systems for years, so someone typeface-conscious is very likely to recognise it on sight.

    Also the second-most-common typeface for people to complain about.

      OK... what's the first?

        Must be Comic Sans, surely.

The typeface is Papyrus [1], which is… not exactly adored by people who care about such things. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papyrus_(typeface) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papyrus_(typeface)

  It does seem to stir up some strong emotions. Years after Avatar's release, there's one thing Steven (Ryan Gosling) just can't get over. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVhlJNJopOQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVhlJNJopOQ

  For all the care that went into Avatar, it's amazing how uncaring he was with this and with the music: https://youtu.be/tL5sX8VmvB8 https://youtu.be/tL5sX8VmvB8
