Tord Larsson

Tord Larsson was an online friend of Edd Gould whose animated counterpart appeared in Edd's animations and comics. He is of Norwegian descent.
==History with Eddsworld==
Tord was first brought in by Edd Gould to draw comics for eddsworld.co.uk."Introducing the new part-time workers at Eddsworld....Tom Ridgewell & Tord LarrsonTom is Going To do the Occassional Comic and flash, while Tord is our new Comic artist! check out his most recent one... 'Hobbie accessories'!" (11/13/2004) The two became close friends, which led to Tord gaining an animated counterpart, first appearing in Eddsworld Christmas Special."Origins of Eddsworld"
Edd started having major computer problems around the time The Dudette Next Door was made, and had to use internet cafes and such to stay in contact with Tord. Tom and Tord were left to chat alone, and according to Edd, it lead the two to realize "they didn't like each other too much". Once Edd returned, things continued as normal.
Tord quit Eddsworld after the completion of Moving Targets in 2008. The first scene in 25ft Under the Seat showing his animated counterpart leaving was a result of this. Edd confirmed Tord's departure in a Scrambled Edd blog post from a few days after 25ft was uploaded, and said Tord did so for "a number of reasons" but assured that the two were still friends.Exthra Crithpy!: "Right, to answer most of your questions, yes, Tord has left Eddsworld, and its highly unlikely he’ll be coming back. Why did he leave? He has a number of reasons, which is fair enough it was his choice. We are still friends, it’s not like he left angrily or something. I’m sorry to the the surprisingly large fan base he has, but if you liked him that much you should really respect his decision (: And no, we are not planning to ‘replace’ him with anyone any time soon, we’re going to keep it as three for a while. C:" - Scrambled Edd (eddsworld.co.uk) (9/30/2008) Edd would later state in a vokle that the scene from 25ft was his least favorite scene in any of his animations. Tord's voice for his animated counterpart appeared one last time in a flashback scene in WTFuture.
Edd clarified in his "Origins of Eddsworld" post that Tord left because he "wished to pursue his own ambitions separately from the group", and he also said in its comments section that the two were still in touch.Question: "if you don't mind me asking, do you and tord still keep in touch?"Edd's Answer: "Yup, of course.""If Tord left to pursue his own personal work where can it be found? I just want to know what he's been up to.""Kind of eliminates the point of wanting to be separate from the group if i send fans after him, but ill ask him when i next speak to him."
Shortly after learning about Edd Gould's death in 2012, Tord posted a video where he explained why he left Eddsworld and addressed rumors regarding him that were floating around at the time."Tord explains why he left Eddsworld (RIP Edd Gould)" (KalashniCock) In it, Tord confirmed that he left Eddsworld because he wanted to make a name for himself outside of it, added that he was always anonymous online so he wouldn't get attention from Eddsworld fans, and stated that his animated counterpart stopped appearing because he felt it wasn't appropriate to have a character bearing his name still present in Eddsworld. Some time later, Tord deleted the channel the video was uploaded on. The end of the video was used in Tomska's video "Your Eulogy".
Tord's animated counterpart reappeared for the Eddsworld: Legacy finale, The End, although he was voiced by Jamie Spicer-Lewis. The real Tord was not contacted."The “I Hate TomSka” Masterpost 7) “TomSka brought back Tord against his wishes” - ...I’ll admit, with no way of contacting him, I hadn’t given much thought to character’s real-life counterpart other than hoping that replacing the voice actor and tying off the character would encourage fans to leave the man alone."
