I couldn't find any mention of Edd's passing in either this subforum, or the media discussion subforum. I think he deserves a mention.

Last Sunday a young man known as Edd died after a long battle with leukemia.

I'm not really sure what to say. He was a wonderful personality, and an enthusiastic entertainer, churning out comics and animations featuring his close friends and himself on his own website (Eddsworld), and on youtube (also on the channel, Eddsworld).

For me, on a personal level, Edd was a far-off figure of inspiration. I'm still young, but I was younger when I first giggled and laughed at his work, and aspired to do the same one day.

The world has lost another talented figure of untested potential.

R.I.P. Edd Gould.

If you have never known or seen the work of Edd before today, or wish to rewatch his wonderful animations, here is his youtube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/eddsworld?ob=0).

And, in the spirit of the Edd Gould himself, here is his own explanation of his condition prior to his death, featuring a small clip made by his friend, of himself punching cancer. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JO0EpsreDls&list=UUSS6UvWXW8OZD9wpIVkD0YA&index=5&feature=plcp)

My friends and I were hooked to this stuff since it started coming out when we were still in elementary. We would check the site weekly, at one point.

Rest in peace Edd Gould, you will be missed. :smallfrown:

It's, well, any death is a tragedy, but this just... I honestly don't have words for this.
R.I.P Edd. You will be sorely missed.
