Frequently Asked Questions

Dan is a coffee cup and Scoti is a biscotti. Dan & Scoti are best friends and this web site - DanScoti.com - documents their antics together.

Who created Dan & Scoti?

Dimitri

Two cousins, Dimitri Apostol and Nick Maresco. Dimitri is from New York and goes to school at New York University for Physics & Stevens Institute of Technology for Mechanical Engineering, while Nick is from Georgia and goes to school at the Art Institute for Computer Science. Dimitri will start work for the Royal Bank of Scotland in the Summer of 2008, while Nick aspires to rule the world with his massive army of clown rabbits.

Nick

Why the names "Dan" and "Scoti"?

The story goes like this: Dimitri and Nick are cousins; they're the same age, and they're really close (despite the fact that Dimitri lives in New York and Nick in Georgia). For a long time, Dimitri and Nick have shared the same passion for internet cartoons such as xkcd and explosm. Around mid-December in 2006, Dimitri called up his cousin to propose to him the idea of starting their own web comic.

Nick thought the idea was great, and immediately starting joking around and suggested that the comic should be called "Dimitri and Nick's Spectacular Cartoon on the Internet". Dimitri laughed and asked Nick how anyone would ever remember how to spell dimitriandnicksspectacularcartoonontheinternet.com, which got Nick thinking about the acronym for the title: D.A.N.S.C.O.T.I.

Dimitri told Nick he thought the acronym sounded like a breakfast cookie, like a biscotti, and from there the idea for Coffee Talk was born.
