Eddsworld

Eddsworld is a British adult animated comedy web series of flash animations, comics, and flash games created by Edd Gould.[1] They are distributed on Newgrounds, DeviantArt, YouTube, Albino Blacksheep, Tumblr, and BBC.[2] They were previously distributed on SheezyArt and the main Eddsworld site until they were shut down. In early 2012, Thomas Ridgewell became the series' director and producer following Gould's death, reforming the series as Eddsworld: Legacy.[3][4][5] On 17 March 2016, Ridgewell announced he had given control over Eddsworld to Hargreaves and Gould's family.[5][6] On 1 January 2017, the show's website went back online with new Eddsworld comics written and illustrated by Matt Hargreaves. Currently, the Eddsworld YouTube channel has around 2 million subscribers.[7]

At the time of Gould's death in 2012, his YouTube channel had the most subscribers in the comedian category for the United Kingdom and was the 4th most viewed comedian in the United Kingdom. Eddsworld was noticed by the organizers of the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference who requested an episode about climate change, used in the opening ceremony of the conference.[8][9][10]
