No clue, but you can set it in Sioux City and three-birds-one-stone it, since it's in IA, NE, and SD.

>>90681858
IDK,Maybe a slice of life sitcom cartoon?

Something like Hey Arnold or Kitty bo bo

>>90681858
Some person/people Get annoyed over the fact that Iowa is not known for anything, and always forgotten, so they set out to find the one thin that will definitely put it on the map.
Hilarious hijinks ensue.

There could perhaps be potential for a mini-series centered on the presidential caucus there, but it'd have to accurately attack everybody.

>>90681904
This one's good.

Can't we just do a capeshit adaptation? Wild Dog is from the QC and Hawkeye is from Waverly

I'm the guy who posts the hobo adventures idea in a lot of those cartoon pitches thread. Maybe that would work in Iowa?

>>90682045
I don't remember the city, but it is where the annual national hobo convention takes place. They elect a king that gets their portrait painted

Here in Missouri you guys are known for gays, being fuck awful drivers and Zombie Burger, which is about the only positive thing in your whole state.

I guess you could say it's sorta an Iowan version of "Gravity Falls" or whatever, but I actually loosely based some of this on my experiences in Iowa a few years ago.

A show about Roger, the mildly autistic purveyor of Secret Pizza and A-OK Taxi. Marilyn Manson said he was very disturbing.

Secret Pizza being his business which was based around the idea that if you could reveal where he made the pizza, it would be free, and he delivered them whenever he felt like it.

And A-OK Taxi being his more recent business, which is him driving an unregistered "taxi" that is visibly full of trash. http://i.imgur.com/35DbBS4.jpg

No one gives a fuck about Iowa

Des Moines is a top tier city. Everything else in Iowa is boring.

inb4 "city"

>>90691943
Iowa is actually really serene to drive through, both on the interstate and county roads.

I also recommend southeastern Nebraska (particularly around Lincoln, which itself is a very cute, charming city) and the Kansas flint hills for somewhat similar views. Go in spring.

the only time Iowa is mentioned here is when it is the butt of some joke

Nebraska.

It wouldn't be too hard. Any sort of show set in a small Midwestern town would obviously apply. Any sort of show set in medium sized city would have several options. Waterloo would cover any crime related cartoon, could also be used for any show centering on a desolate, abandoned Rustbelt factory town.

Iowa is known for three things:

Bicycles (See: RAGBRAI, an annual 400 mile party on wheels that lasts a week)
Motorcycles (See: Sturgis Falls, one of the biggest motorcycle rallies in the country)
Pork (yum)

two corn stocks talk to each other

Gravity Falls meets Men in Black.

I'm FROM Iowa and I don't even know about Zombie Burger.

And we're great drivers, we just have our own rules. You will die if you follow traffic laws here.

We also have city-owned fiber optic internet in some places.

It's "cornstalks". This was funnier when I misread it as cocks.

>waterloo

That's not how you spell cedar rapids. Even the east side is pretty chill. I've walked through there at 2 am a few times, even saw some black dudes. Didn't get mugged or shot. Would not try that in Cedar Rapids. Iowa City's a maybe, but only because I'm a man. Lot of rape down there.

I did have an idea for a superhero cartoon.

If I was ordered by an executive to have it take place in Iowa, I can't say it would really effect anything so I guess I would just have it set in Des Moines.

:(

I grew up in Cedar Rapids.
A cartoon about kids trying different schemes to get to another state would be pretty representative of my general feeling

Iowa City is cool though, there could easily be a college slice-of-life show set there. Or a cartoon advertisement for Quaker Oats.

Fuck Waterloo for real

More like fuck UNI.

>most of the women are looking for husbands, not dtf in college, or dating guys that go to other schools

>most of them are white girls from small towns who wouldn't even date the black football players let alone a black guy in general

Was such a ripoff.

I could completely see some bullshit indie-style comic about a group of friends riding in RAGBRAI.

Two day of riding followed a by nights stopover in shitty podunk college town with whatever local band they managed to pull out of the one decent bar only to sober up the next morning and repeat for the rest of the week.

>>90683320
Wisconsin has the worst drivers

>>90695323
That is almost exactly how it goes.

Except the college towns are the GOOD towns and they have like a million bars because there's literally nothing to do but drink your life away.

>>90695427

Agree with the million bars part, can disagree with the good part depending on what towns we're using for examples. Storm lake outside of the campus was pretty much a middle to lower-income shithole.

>>90695623
yeah i mostly meant the big three, cedar falls, ames, and most of iowa city.
