Edd's Dead. Good Night, Sweet Prince - Polidicks

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkEvbOsr138[/media] [quote=Description]On Sunday the 25th of March 2012, Edd Gould passed away after a six year long battle with cancer. He will be greatly missed.[/quote] Not sure if this goes here, if it doesn't, someone please move it

It sucks that cures for cancer do exist yet we can't use them due to regulations.

Fuck, I just heard about this. His cartoons were part of my childhood, right alongside Homestar Runner, and it's so shocking and hard to hear he's passed. I wish the best to him, his friends, his family, and all of his other fans. Rest in peace, Edd.

:(

I was about to post this. RIP Edd

R.I.P...... feels bad man, feels bad

:(

Well SHIT. I remember following this guy in 06 on newgrounds, loving his work.

At first I thought "This is a joke, right? It's gotta be!" ...but then the video ended. Rest in Peace, Edd... :(

Damn. Bye Edd.

The video makes me very sad, especially because his animations were actually pretty funny. I always looked them up time to time. RIP :(

holy fucking shit

Damn, I loved his stuff. So sad that he lost his battle :( RIP.

He was my first inspiration for making cartoons and animation. Fuck.

My friend made all his icons on Newgrounds when the site was redesigned.

I loved this guy's work, and even talked to him once. RIP.

I don't want to sound like an ass, but who is he? I've never heard of him before.

I'm literally staving off the tears right now. I know people die of cancer all the time, but there's something about it taking Edd that makes it so much worse. He never let it show through how hard he struggled, in fact he seemed just fine to the rest of the world, like he could easily brush off all his problems and forget about them. Something about how it was able to take him even when he seemed so strong makes me question life itself. But what am I saying? I never knew him personally and I don't think he would have cared much to know a small-time fellow like myself in a sea of fans. But not once did I think the cancer would get to him, not once, and I guess that's what's hurting me so bad inside, my assurances and hopes that he gave me shattered right in my face. I hope to all that is good in the world that it's a joke, setting us all up for April Fool's Day or something. Edd would be the kind of sort to make a joke out of his cancer. And if it isn't a joke or prank, well there's just more of my hopes that mean nothing at all.

oh god what. This can't be right.

My first thought when clicking on the thread was, "who's Edd?" God damn, that realization hit me like a ton of bricks. Farewell. :(

Oh god. Edd's videos are what got me into drawing. I thought he was ok, I feel terrible now. :(

I was baffled at first as to whom this person was honestly.

Well that just hit me like a brick wall. He was the one that got me into animation... I remember watching the first video I ever saw of his, [URL=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Il4dC4OfAYw]Hello Hellhole[/URL]. I remember finding it hilarious when I first saw it (when I was 8). He's improved so much since then. Well, rest in piece, Edd. You were brilliant.

Getting diagnosed with cancer at such a young age must be fucking devastating. RIP.

Wow, this is a shock. I convinced myself he was going to make it.

Ahh Jesus.... this depresses me so insanely much. I'm so, so sorry for Edd's family and friends, and in general sorry for internet animations. We lost a hero today. Rest in Peace, Edd. You brought me a crazy amount of enjoyment. Thank you.
