I'm not just a publisher of web comics, I'm also a graphic designer. It's what I went to school for and it's what I get paid to do when I'm not writing and drawing the funny books. On Monday, July 13, the graphic design community lost one of its most inspirational and caring individuals.
Robert McCullough was an accomplished designer and artist, having exhibited his work across the United States and Europe, with a once highly successful advertising and design firm located in Hampton Roads, Virginia. Since 1980, however, Robert had been an instructor of fine arts and graphic design at Old Dominion University, where he educated and inspired many of today's rising stars.
Robert was that teacher who people talk about as having made an impact on their life in a way that pushed them to achieve everything they had ever wanted. He made sure you had everything you needed to reach those goals. As a teacher, he always told you what you were doing right and what you were doing wrong. If it was wrong, he told you how so and what you should consider doing to make it right. He never said "No, that's just bad" and then left you to your own devices to try and figure it out. He was a real teacher and mentor.
Robert will be greatly missed and never forgotten. He is survived by his wife, Harriet, daughter and step-daughter, as well as his many friends, colleagues and students.

Thank you for everything, Robert.
