R.I.P. Edd Gould 1988-2012
« on: March 28, 2012, 01:44:41 PM »


As I am sure many of you have already heard, Edd Gould, creator of the Eddsworld series, died on the 25th of March after a 6 year long battle with cancer.
Hearing this was such a shock to me and many others, he was one of the first flash animators I ever saw and was a big inspiration to me during my early internet years.

It's such a shame to lose someone so talented and funny, and while I am certain he had a great life, it feels like he had so much living left to do, he was only 23 years old, but he acomplished so much and left such a big impact, He will almost certainly be remembered by millions worldwide.

Such a shame that we lose a legendary person like this. He's one of those legends that we need in our lives.

Goodbye Edd, you will be missed greatly.

C'mon Tord, Matt and Tom can't carry on Eddworld on their own!

Yeah, I remember seeing this when I went on Newgrounds. Damn shame he died so young, he accomplished so much within his time.

God bless him in heaven.

I knew about this since last night, I just did not want to be the one to break the bad news to everyone.  
Edd was a legendary Internet star, comedian, and a nice person all around, he should not have died, especially at such a young age.
His legacy of humour, flash videos, and love of coke, will be saved in the internet until the end of humanity.

He's out teaching Jesus how to make fun cartoons.

I don't care that he didn't draw the prettiest animations. He could tell a funny story, and that's all I cared about. May the flying spaghetti monster bless his soul.
