The end: part 2 is the final episode for Thomas 'Tomska' Ridgwell. He claims the show will now be handled by Edd's friends and family.
The original creator of the show, Edd Gould, died of cancer in 2012. The last episode he made was Space Face part 1.
In later years, episodes have started to drop in quantity probably due to budget reasons.
Since YouTube wasn't created until 2005, Eddsworld originally released episodes on Newgrounds in 2003 and DeviantArt in 2004. Eddsworld didn't come to YouTube until 2006.
