Ha! As someone born and raised in this "land of corn" and now living on the east coast I can tell you that there are some things you never think you will miss (the small minds, the brutal cold winters, the steaming hot summers, the hillbillies, the republicans, the bible thumpers) but you do end up missing the corn.
I don't know if you can understand this but there is something about vast open spaces carpeted in green that still makes me love the fields. When you have a hundred acres of wheat/corn in the harvest season it is one of the most breathtaking things you will ever see, especially on a breezy warm summer day.
The two biggest things I have noticed about the east coast are that everyone talks funny and drives too fast. Don't be too hard on us bumpkins, we are good people.
Yes, all hail the land of devout Christians and corn-eaters. I've made that trip myself several times. Each time I find a few brain cells have exploded, popcorn-style, out of sheer depression by the time I finally make it to Wyoming or Colorado (if heading west).
Good work on the blog. I love your cartoons and writing style.

Wow. Making fun of accents. Sad really.
Hello from the land of Highway 20 (it goes right through our modest university town).
I would like to point out that us Iowans aren't so bad, really. We are honest and not overly religious (as long as you hold us up against the deep south, that is).
However, I do feel sorry for you for having to drive through Iowa. It is mind-numbingly boring.
Wish you would have had the chance to get out and interact with more than tour guides and gas station attendants.

Hey, that's cool that you drove right by my meager little town then. I live in Lawton, I'm sure you don't remember it, it's nothing special. I've lived here all my life, it really is boring just to drive across, but the people are [for the most part] nice and we aren't all caught up in corn, just the farmers. you have to realize that farmers don't just go to work for a salary every day, they are each a small business owner, and their lively hood is growing crops, so that is what they talk about. I guess the rest of us talk about how there is nothing to talk about.
