    Man, Trump chose someone from Ohio to be his running mate. I mean come on, the one thing Michiganders can agree on is that we hate Ohio - red or blue. Why would you want to elevate someone from Ohio as VP?

        I love geography and boy oh boy was I excited to visually confirm that Ohio is indeed The Sweaty Ass Crack of America®!

        I got carried away drawing the rest of the human creature American specimen. Thoughts on better knuckle placement?

      Lmao! Moved to Ohio for a bit. Met someone from Michigan, who then totally hated on me for being a Buckeye, was totally baffled at the time. Glad to see it’s still going. I’ve always assumed, sports?

        Cold war from when Ohio invaded Michigan’s land and got the president to back their claim over it. Federal government ended up letting Ohio keep it and giving Michigan the upper peninsula in exchange.

        Ohio State and University of Michigan are football rivals. It was always awkward because my grandpa was a most of life Ohioan who went to UofM for grad school and hoo boy did people not like when he displayed his Alma mater gear. I think they once caught a drunk person pissing on his car…

        But it’s also kinda just that we’re neighbors with a lot in common. Oh and we once had a war. But mostly it’s that we’re neighbors and it never really feels like punching down (Indiana and Kentucky) or above our weight (Pennsylvania)
