The best slice of life cartoons take place in the Midwest and Northeast.
What about southwest?
>>154243855We're sleeping on noncontiguous, it's a shame.
>>154243855For the north east probably Hey Arnold, I know it’s not a real city but the weather patterns suggest north east and it’s clearly inspired by New York or Philadelphia as a city. If that’s not close enough than Phines and Ferb it’s the Tri state area so that’s easily north east.
>>154243855>MidwestGood, I'm sick of Cali hogging up all the glory. TLH is especially great because I can't think of many cartoons that take place in Michigan specifically.
>>154243899What about it?
>>154243926The city in Hey Arnold was inspired in part by NYC but canonically takes place in Washington State.
>>154243917The Great North had its moments but never really grabbed you. Lilo & Stitch was comfy as hell.
>>154243855>>154243933>Midwest Name five also dubs
>>154244372We need an updated version of this map.
>>154244436Need a finished version of this map.
>>154244563And a spellchecked one.
>>154244436My current theory is Ed, Edd n Eddy is set in Maine.1. It is close to Canada so see the Canadian skyline is possible.2. Creek is mainly used in New England States3. There was a sign that said Peach Creek had a Beach yet the kids go to the watering hole due to most Maine beaches being rocky.4.There is a "desert" in Maine due to desertification.5.There is a sea side National Park area.
>>154243855Are there any on the Southeast region? I'm drawing a blank. I know some feature Florida episodes, but I don't remember it being the main setting.
>>154243855>Virginia and Maryland are southern Stop this bullshit, they're two of the biggest blue states in the country. Just because there's a holler of hillbillies in one corner does not make them Dixie
>>154246263I have a culture map.
>>154246227Craig of the Creek, technically. It takes place in Maryland. Surely there's a Disney show that takes place IN Florida or the Carolinas. Class of 3000 took place in Atlanta.
>>154246315Nice anon, thanks
I dunno. NJ is pretty boring. I hate it here. And I'm always broke.
>>154246227>>154246192I think it's confirmed somewhere that Edd Ed and Eddy is set in Georgia. Georgia is the Peach State and there's a million towns with Peach in the name
>>154246227Squidbillies is in north Georgia.
>>154243899https://youtube.com/shorts/UcwxiALUIHY?is=m2xGlpRFYqTwxo-LGoobsmooch is highly Desert Rat coded
>>154246379It's outside Toronto somewheres.
>>154246280NEW NEATHERLANDS BROS WW@?
>>154246280The main reason why Left Coast shares so much with Yankeedom and Appalachian is because that's where the majority of the settlers came from
>>154244436The Loud House is set in Michigan. Just outside of Detroit, apparently.
>>154246192it's pretty obviously generic Midwestern. Michigan or Ohio. considering Antonnuci is from Toronto (right across the border from Detroit), I'm trending towards Michigan.
>>154246263Maryland was fully colonised by Yankees in the 70s, and Virginia has been going the same way because of spillover from Arlington. North Carolina is starting to get colonised too.
>>154243855I want a series taking place in the panhandle area of Alaska, like around Juneau and shit.
>>154244436Where's the picture map?
>>154246280Mmmm yes, I like my text-heavy images crispy fried.
>>154243899Clarence is good and that's Prescott AZ.
>>154247254this un?
>>154246227Ace Ventura was set in Florida I believe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cq-z5eIs5sM
>>154247487>deliberate effort to not have anything set in the south, the sole exception is a show made in Atlanta by people from Georgiareally highlights the anti-southern bias
>>154247532People had to fight about including The Transformers movie on the original map. It is weird that almost none of The South has a show there. Was there no animated Beverly Hillbillies or Petticoat Junction series Hanna Barbera shat out in the 70s? You think one of these newer grifter online platformed would have made a show set in Tennessee at the very least.
>>154247487Rugrats is set in Cali? I thought it was in Texas. There's literally an early episode where they're watching some big football game where its the Dallas Cowboys vs The Houston Oilers.
>>154247725Hanna Barbera did a hillbilly show in the 70s, I don't think they named the state it was in though.
>>154244436>>154247487Saying American Dad takes place in Virginia is %100 correct, but ever saying represents the rest of the state is just wrong. That's like saying a blade of grass speaks for a whole neighborhood. The beltway outside of DC is nothing like the southern or western parts.
>>154247943If we're going off that logic, most of these shows don't "represent" their state as much as they do a single city. TMNT represents NYC, not the entirety of New York state. KotH only represents Central Texas and not the plains or coastal parts of Texas. Steven Universe in no way represents ANY of Delaware.
>>154247487>Rick and Morty is set in my shithole of a state
>>154243855Why is "Pacific Northwest" not its own thing? What are we, California's colder little brother?
>>154248116the difference is the overwhelming majority of the New York population lives in NYC, and suburban Dallas is pretty representative of the rest of the state culturally.
>>154248199Seattle and Portland are exurbs of Frisco, yes
>>154248116SU shouldn't be on the list, while it's set in a real geographical area the state it's set in is entirely fictitious.
>>154248218Most of Tennessee's population is split between Memphis, Nashville, and Knoxville, but none of them really completely represent Tennessee as a whole (Black City, Liberal Metropolitan, and College Town respectively). Also, the image of suburban Dallas culture is the version of Texas the state uses for promotional purposes. I doubt someone from Lubbock would want to be compared to someone from Dallas.
>>154243855All these regions should go to war against each other.
>>154243855I'd like a cartoon about life in Sitka, preferably before they got rid of the McDonalds.>>154248422>noncontigious wins by doing nothing
>>154248199Californians colonized Seattle and Olympia back in the 80's
>>154248199>>154248645Also the settler stock of NorCal is the same as Washington and Oregon
>>154248422Aren't all our major nukes housed in the Rockies? Having these specific regions balkinize would just mean that the leader of the Mormons has the country (and world) by the balls.
>>154244436Did some poking around...>An American Tail: Fievel Goes West is set in Utah>Bless the Harts is set in North Carolina>As Told by Ginger is set in Connecticut
>>154248718The bases have the nuke, but not the PAL codes.
>>154248922I doubt DC's going to want to become the new DMZ between New England and the Super South. I imagine the entire Federal Government immediately bugs out to Cheyenne Mountain and give the Mormons what they want.
>>154243926>>154243969I’ve lived in all the cities Hey Arnold was inspired by (NYC, Boston, Chicago, Seattle, currently lived in the last one about 10 years) and to be honest Arnold’s city feels the least like Seattle. The brownstone type buildings that look like the boarding house don’t really exist out here, and there’s no deep religious Jewish community out here the same way there is on the East Coast. I guess the closest thing is having ferries and islands, since we have Bainbridge and Mercer and stuff, but even then the islands in Hey Arnold always felt more like Governor’s island in NY or something, small parks and historical sites rather than places where people lived.
>>154244436>>154247487>>154248894>Kentucky continues to remain irrelevantAtleast they have Project Zomboid, I guess.
>>154247487There are more episodes of Regular show than there are of FoP?? Fuck I'm old...
>>154248293Geography is realer than states tbf
>>154250137no. States exist to reflect the cultural identities of the settlers who platted them.
>>154250172Regardless of what you think a state is, a state is an idea, while the land and people are physical beings even as their names and forms change.
Has there been NOTHING set in WV?
>>154250229a state is a manifestation of the people and land together.
>>154250248give me your pitch for a WV cartoon, place is a shithole
>>154247487It still pleasantly surprises me that my favourite cartoon has more eps than Gravity Falls
>>154243855people care about the mid west?
>>154250342Jesco the Dancing Outlaw: The Cartoon
>>154250266I have zero commonality with faggots in the Puget Sound region, that's a different state far as I'm concerned.
>>154250970When people picture America certain areas come to mind instantly. New York City, Hollywood, Texas, Las Vegas and ambiguous midwestern small town.
>>154251019because the notion of a state has been systematically dismantled by Unionists with the goal of creating a single unified 'American' identity since the end of the Civil War.
>>154250342Dark comedy about a lower-middle class white trash family's day to day life in a small town with nothing to do besides doing meth, going to church and wasting time at the local walmart thirty minutes away.
>>154244436Futurama is downstate, it doesn't count.
>>154250342A furry Tudor’s cashier is gay and has friends
>>154247487Where in Cali is regular show setGumball is cool cause it has the "just outside the bay area" aethestic
>>154250970I care
>>154251132That's an extremely Huntington ass plot, and I'm here for it
>>154246315>Craig of the Creek, technically. It takes place in Marylandyeah man!
>>154246263MD has at least three distinct cultures from each other and VA could easily have five. However, both states are fairly similar to each other, and less similar to actually Southern states.
>>154244436>living here in jersey fighting villains from afar>you got a viper's gear in your giant robot car>YOU DIG GIANT ROBOTS>I DIG GIANT ROBOTS>WE DIG GIANT ROBOTS>CHICKS DIG GIANT ROBOTS>*guitar twang*Nice.
>>154246606Upper Michigan was conquered by Canada in the Loudverse?
>>154249505>fellow kyhey babe wanna meet n suck?
>>154253322Yeah, I just noticed that when I posted pic rel. Not sure what they think of Canadians in that show.
>>154246280Damn, who knew american lore was so interesting.
>>154244436We are so close to greatness. Somebody make a cartoon of Montana for fuck's sake!
>>154247487That's one of them, but there was another one that was like 99% full IIRC. It used a scene overlay instead of titles.
>>154251122This. I keep lobbying for X-men since that's at least out of the city.
>>154243899It had Beavis and Butthead
>>154243855The midwest is quite possibly the most boring inhabited stretch of land on the planet.
>>154248153Washington is a shithole?
