The Goodbye Family

[5] Beginning in 2009, Richards started to produce the Goodbye Family as one-off cards after an inspiring trip to France and Wales.

Richards envisioned Orphie, the daughter, and primary character, on the roof of the Notre Dame Cathedral sitting with gargoyles, while her parents Otis tried to board a train with a shrunken head, and Pyridine publicly sewed a cadaver in Cardiff.

[6] In 2012, A Raven Above Press released Richards first novel Me’ma and the Great Mountain,[7][8] about an indigenous girl that overcomes ghoulish spirits to save her people.

[15] According to the book's summary Pyridine is a witch and mortician, Otis is a bumbling but brazen hearse driver, and Orphie has the strength of twenty men and helps with grave digging.

The Goodbye Family: The Animated Series has several main cast members: Nick Gligor voices Rusty Potts, Lou Steed, Teddy Helios, Tumbleweed, Cousin Kook, as well as several minor characters.

Lorin Morgan-Richards voices Otis Goodbye, Barry Dingle, Reverend Moustache, and other male episodic characters.

[32] The following year, Richards released Me’ma and the Great Mountain narrated by Jessica Rose Felix, and with a foreword by Corine Fairbanks.

In 2021, Ratchet Blade Records released The Goodbye Family EP, produced and mixed by Chopper Franklin, lyrics by Lorin Morgan-Richards, vocals by Mather Louth and music by the Heathen Apostles.

[33] In the second season of The Goodbye Family: The Animated Series, Richards and Franklin collaborated again to create Gothic Western Haunt.

A single, produced and mixed by Chopper Franklin, lyrics by Lorin Morgan-Richards, vocals by Mather Louth and music by Heathen Apostles (2023, Ratchet Blade Records).
