“In this stage of narrative interviews, I look for what I call ‘pivotal moments’ and ‘defining moments.’ They’re similar, but with an important distinction. One involves external or situational factors. The other is largely internal.”

A #longreads rec. for your Sunday:
In 1992, a Texas small business owner was trying to syndicate weekly political cartoons to BBSes.
His "telecomics," as he called them, are an overlooked early experiment in online comics, at a key moment in U.S. politics.

This composite image shows "Mack the Mouse," a comic character drawn in a pixelated computer format, beside a photo of his creator, Don Lokke Jr.
In 1992, Don Lokke Jr. coined the term “telecomics” to describe his new digital comic strips, drawn primarily in the ANSI art format and distributed online through BBSes.
This is the final in-depth profile in my "ANSI art and webcomics" series!

The companions from The Broken Crown Saga
Long stories aren't just about bigger stakes — they're about watching people change over time.
Give me 600 pages of someone becoming someone else. That's the whole point.

'Meaning is not only in what is built. It is in what is left behind.'
'The Sixth Stone' is now out.
A study in Northern Cape history, the 'scatter' of the Nama, and the philosophy of the unfinished.

A vertical digital book-cover style graphic for a Substack article titled 'The Sixth Stone'. The top half features a sun-drenched, pink-orange granite mountain face under a clear sky. The bottom half is a dark, silhouetted foreground where the text is placed. The text reads: 'The Sixth Stone: On scatter, stack, and silence in the Bergsig gap' followed by the author name 'ben marvan'
My new essay (out tomorrow) explores the Nama principle of 'scatter': how meaning lives in the traces we leave behind, rather than the monuments we build.
Dropping Sunday morning on Substack.
