Eddsworld

Eddsworld is a British adult animated comedy web series of flash animations, comics, and browser games created by Edd Gould.

They were previously distributed on SheezyArt and the main Eddsworld site until they were shut down.Eddsworld refers to the online username and series of animations, comics, and games created by the late Edd Gould. Edd and his various friends, like Matt Hargreaves and Thomas Ridgewell, would have animated counterparts of themselves appear in the various media Edd posted online. Edd's earliest-surviving creation was a short titled Edd, and it was uploaded to Newgrounds on June 6, 2003, the same day he registered,and the first episode released on June, 7 2003.

History
During Edd's time in secondary school, he would draw comics about his playground friends being killed and eaten. Edd's school friends would be "cast" in what he called 'Edd's World', which Edd claimed was likely inspired by Wayne's World. Edd later joined Neopets with Matt and some other friends, and he created a Guild accompanied with its own website titled 'Edd's Kill-a-thon'. After some angry threats, the admins removed Edd's guild for having a violent title. Because of this, Edd created a new guild titled 'Edd's World' with a Geocities webpage linking to various things.

Edd started using an animated gif maker to make gifs about various things like "stickmen dying and farts", but when he finally found a site to post them on (sfdt.com), he discovered they were only accepting flash entries. Edd decided to search for some flash entries and came across a flash titled Agent Smiley, and he started using flash as a result. Starting on November 7, 2002, he made primarily stick figure animations, like his Bendee flash animations.

Edd eventually put more of his efforts toward animations about the adventures of him, his friends' animated counterparts, and other characters. The animated counterparts for two of Edd's friends, Thomas Ridgewell and Tord Larsson, were voiced by Edd himself and Alex L'Abbé during the times they didn't have working microphones.

Comics
In addition to animations, Edd would post comic strips to his online accounts. These comics were also posted on Edd's website until the site was shut down due to malware in January 2012. After the death of Edd Gould, Tom and Paul created twenty additional comics until control over Eddsworld was handed to Matt and Edd's family. Matt with a few others continue to make comics.

Eddsworld Legacy
In early 2012, Thomas Ridgewell became the series' showrunner, director, and producer following Gould's death on the 25 March, later reforming the series as ''Eddsworld: Legacy. Eddsworld Legacy (2012-2016) was a fundraiser to keep the show going for another year with 12 more episodes. However, Tom's poor budget planning and management skills, caused the season to cost twice as much, and take twice as longer to produce.''
