U.S. states ranked by how easy they are to nibble out of graham crackers, by Nathan W. Pyle [1]

Date: 2023-09-07
Nathan W. Pyle of "Strange Planet" comic fame is a terrific artist, clearly. But did you know he's also a very talented nibbler? What's that, you say? Not too long ago, he created a post on social media where he showcased his talent of nibbling graham crackers into the shapes of various US states. They are a sight to behold! He posted the following ranking along with photos of some of the state shapes he created:
U.S. States Ranked By How Easy They Are To Form By Nibbling A Graham 1. Wyoming 2. Colorado 3. Ohio 4. Idaho … … 49. Maryland 50. Alaska
Idaho is quite impressive:
I want to apologize to the state of Idaho – your state shape was far more difficult to nibble than I anticipated. I now respect the contours of the Snake River. 🫡 pic.twitter.com/m7PzklDscd — Nathan W Pyle (@nathanwpyle) June 11, 2023
So is Minnesota:
Minnesota is quite a difficult nibble. I'm ranking you 35th easiest. It is, I would add, the state outline that would clearly be the most fun to jump off of (into a lake, naturally) pic.twitter.com/tF3I86BkHH — Nathan W Pyle (@nathanwpyle) June 11, 2023
I don't think he got through all 50 states, but it was fun while it lasted!
And if drawings of states are more your speed, he's also currently working on super cute drawings of the 50 states, which you can see here (and which are also not complete yet).
I mean, how cute are Mississippi, "Blues Player of the USA" and Alaska, "Hungry Moose of the USA"?
