So I'm starting a new side comic tentatively called "DC Minis" that will go up every other week, opposite Dark Science (making Dresden Codak a weekly comic)! They're going to be short comics based on questions I get from the Patreon here. You can ask basically anything, as long as it's related to Dark Science, and it doesn't have to be especially serious. Some examples:

What's Melchior's favorite food?

Has Vonnie ever seen Revolutionary Girl Utena?

How did Kim go so long without noticing that she's gay?

What would the cast look like in a Dark Science AU where they're all anime highschool students?

Which character is the best at Mario Kart?

The above sketch is kind of the vibe we're going for. So you can ask questions here for now, and for every batch of DC Minis that I finish I'll post another prompt for you folks. I hope this sounds fun, because I think it will be!

So we know Kim needs sugar to run her stuff, but what kind of sugars are better fuel? Fruit sugars, carb sugars? And do artificial sweeteners work?

Orion Rhine

What was Melchior like as a child, both at home and at school?

Aeryn Light

What would Kim cosplay as if she went to a furry convention?

Jackie

What are some select cast members' favorite architectural styles?

GearedForMusic

What's it like when Asmodea 1, 2, and 3 are in the same place? Alternatively, can we get Vonnie reacting to 3x Flirt combo?

Sn4ptr4n

Would Kim prefer, for a formal event, a suit or a dress (or a secret third option), and in which style?

Aaron J. Shay

In what clique was Balthazar Bogan during high school (or the in-universe equivalent)? Was he a drama nerd, a debate bro, a skater boi?

Maya Lehrer

If Kim wasn’t a magical robot girl how would she organize the revolution?

Liophora

How much time does the Department of Opposition spend arguing with people about subs vs dubs just because it's easy?

Alex White

A bug or spider is in the living room. Which of the heroes deals with it, and how?

Hugh Eckert

What if Melchior went to a support group for disembodied heads?

John

What would Kim think of Lain, either as an anime, or as a real person in the DS universe?

William Cole

I want to know literally everything about Melchior. Favorite food for sure. Also, favorite movie, who would voice him, college major, how he wound up in Opposition, &c., &c.

Michael Sperry

I'm guessing that up until now, neither of them has had an opportunity to try dancing. They've been fighting/on the run/whatever for so long. So it could make for a funny comic where they discover that they're REALLY good at dancing, but only with each other! Solo dancing, or dancing with others just doesn't provide that necessary spark.

Ross Clatterbuck

Which part of key lime pie on a hotdog bun is fried?

duplexviking

What’re their Smash mains?

PotentPinion

What's the most direct chain of succession available to make Bogan a Dark Scientist?

Ralph Trueblood

Instead of anime high school, how about doing a reverse Equestria Girls and turning Kim & Co. into ponies? Obvious, maybe, but assigning wings, horns, and Cutie Marks (TM) takes some thought and stimulates debate.

dresdencodak

How did I not think of this, I'm definitely doing this one

Twistedpear

Who can kick Melchior's head-ball the furthest?

Spider Mod

What sort of DnD character would Vonnie make?

Chelsea

When will Ling pick Kim up by the shoulders, press her to the wall, and kiss her!

Minzoku Bokumetsu

Which character has the scientifically best drip?

Christopher Heiny

The Department Of Scheduling (I just made that up, but there must be one) has scheduled Happy Hour for 4pm to 7pm this Thursday. All hostilities are suspended during that time. The Good Guys and the Bad Guys adjourn to a bar for a break. Which bar? What do our heroes and their nemeses drink? Can they play foosball/pinball/whatever without things degenerating to a brawl? Who will need an air taxi home?

Alex Willging

What is Elith looking for in a partner beyond that one moment with Kim?

Adam Gardner

When was the last time Vonnie saw her brother? Did he come to the city, or did she visit him? Or, has she not actually seen him since coming to the city? Follow up: if Ron was made a Dark Scientist, how would he (ab)use the power?

Charles Wilkinson

I pick Kim Yeon-Soo for best Mario Karter. I reckon he was speedrunning it during his college days while studying engineering. Q: Which character would win a cook-off?

Sydney J Freedberg

What if the Dark Science main characters played Dungeons & Discourse together?

Jello K

Ever since episode 4 I’ve been obsessed with the enormous chain attached to Nephilopolis. The one that supports the rail system Kim rode in on at the beginning. Where are both ends attached? What is its purpose? Are there additional similar chains? Why was Bogan on that train, anyway?

Orlet Soir

Is it time for a BEACH FILLER EPISODE yet?

Etienne M.J. Dubourg

What would a BEACH FILLER EPISODE look like ? Can Melchior's weird little robot body wear a swimsuit ?

aran

I don't think this is a 'make a fun comic' question prompt but I've never quite known if there's a correct way to 'hear' the squigglyness of Kim's speech bubbles? is she mumbly? quiet? is it always literal or just done consistently for consistency's sake? just artistic license/vibes?

Kevin McEnhill

What department monitors the department of monitors?

dresdencodak

Y'know that's a good question. In my head that's just a way to show that she kind of has a creaky, warbly voice. Kinda like someone who might go days without talking.

aran

I hear it!!

lovingDefender

what's vonnie's soup recipe in #158?

Aurorachimera

What is Marquis the Conqueror's Fursona? What is Tiny Carl Jung's? ...What would the cast look like in a Dark Science AU where they're all furries?

Aurorachimera

D&D characters for the whole cast?

dresdencodak

Melchior would go to a furry convention in a big, bulky mascot costume of himself.

William Cole

Melchior ends up being the volleyball. He gets atomized when Ling delivers a match-winning spike.

William Cole

Dungeons & Discourse, narturally!

Torabi

Ling doesn't seem the least bit weirded out by Kim's favorite food. Is she blinded by love, or is her own palate a bit peculiar? Then again, if Naglfar only has fried food, I suspect most of the cast has a bizarre diet, aside from apparently Vonnie, who can cook! It's all carnival food, isn't it? The world's fair that never ended and all.

it's a boring name

how many tries did Ling need before she got the key lime pie recipe just right?
