If you look very closely and use lots of imagination, some U.S. states look like something. Using the drawings below, identify each state that has been transformed into a cartoon.
All drawings are original. In some cases, a few embellishments have been added to the state's border.
I’ve been on JP too long, I’m a non-American (or Brit) and only missed the one disguised as a pig. For that state I think corn, or Slipknot and not much else!
Interesting... I originally uploaded all of these images on Wikimedia Commons, but they've since been deleted. This was the reason given: "Unused, out of scope cartoons. While they're well-drawn, they have no educational or historic value and don't belong on Commons." I have the original drawings, and they still show up here, so I don't mind. :)
I would imagine these have a market somewhere. If you had cartoons representing Great Britain or the Czech Republic for my partner, I’d buy a couple of prints for the novelty value!
I'm from New Jersey and when I was learning about the state in fourth grade, I said it looked like a Dutch boy looking to the left. Everyone said they didn't see it. Thank you, dug, for proving I'm not crazy! Though my Dutch boy has aged a bit, as have I, sadly.
From my reply to an earlier comment: My original version only accepted Wyoming, but QM added Colorado as an acceptable answer. Makes sense, because the difference is subtle.
That is a beautiful idea, because when I did you wonderful quiz I lost about 5 seconds typing in Colorado because it looks very similar to Wyoming. By the way, does Amazon have anything to do with Wyoming? If so could somebody teach me why? Thank you. :)
They are shaped differently, incidentally.
Anyway, great quiz!
Do you wanna to do the second version?
1. I though Massachusetts was a lobster not a toucan!
2. I though Minnesota was a rabid peacock with a lopsided mustache not whatever that is (I STILL can’t figure it out)!
3. I though South Carolina was a robber looking over his shoulder at a sack of gold not a robber sneaking up to a diamond!
whats up with that??
Sincerely, Bob
