Edd Gould

Edward Duncan Ernest Gould
Edward Duncan Ernest Gould was born on 28 October 1988 in Isleworth, in Greater London to his mother, Susan "Sue" Gould, sister, Victoria "Vicky" Gould and brother, George Gould. Gould attended the Orleans Park School,[3] (as shown on one of his first cartoons, titled Edd Again) and met Matt Hargreaves on a Sports Day Event. Although at first disliking him, Gould became good friends with Hargreaves upon the departure of his former best friend, David Chapman, and Hargreaves was transferred to Gould's classroom. Gould declared he had a habit of drawing his friends into comics, so he included Hargreaves in what would become Eddsworld. Although first complaining about always getting killed on his early animations, Hargreaves became a prominent part of Eddsworld, but having substantially smaller parts in early animation inspired by the film Wayne's World based on a popular Saturday Night Live skit. Gould met Thomas Ridgewell online, shortly after he started making stick animations. Ridgewell was a fan who added him on a messaging service when Gould was making the Bendee series. Ridgewell sent Gould fan art of his work. At about the same way he met Ridgewell, Gould met Tord Larsson online as well, becoming good friends. Ridgewell and Larsson were eventually included in the Eddsworld cast along with Hargreaves, appearing in the 2004 animation Eddsworld Christmas Special 2004. Tord Larsson left Eddsworld in 2008.
