Paul Boyd, animator of, of course, Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy, died today at the age of 20, of mental illness.
This may come as a shock to us, since he has animated (and directed) some of the greatest characters (and episodes) this side of Peach Creek, but also because he had bipolar disorder, a highly unstable form of paranoia, and it was during one of these attacks that he was shot dead by Vancouver Police.
It is currently the LONGEST-RUNNING original cartoon on Cartoon Network. The series revolves around three preadolescence boys: Ed, who is slow-witted and often speaks in non sequiturs; Edd, who is usually called "Double D" and is rather intelligent, if high-strung; and Eddy, the avaricious 'leader' of the trio. Collectively known as "the Eds," the three hang around in their suburban neighborhood of Peach Creek Estates, where "the cul-de-sac" is located. Led by Eddy, the Eds scheme to make money off their peers to buy jawbreakers, but their plans usually fail, leaving them in various predicaments. The characters rarely leave the neighborhood, and no adults are ever seen.
