Bullwinkle Maine Flag, including Rocky, Boris, and Natasha

Maine is one of the few states to have unique animals on it.  A few flags have the bald eagle, which makes sense as the national bird.  But only Northern states have eagles on the flags.  Maine has a moose on the flag, sitting in the grass.  But for this fun Maine flag, it has been themed with the Rocky and Bullwinkle characters.  Boris is the farmer with scythe.  Natasha is a sailor.  You can see Rocky the squirrel flying the background.  And at the center of it all is Bullwinkle the goofy and lovable American moose.

Official Flag of Maine
Although these Rocky and Bullwinkle are from Minnesota, there are parts of Minnesota that resemble Maine, with all the trees and all.  Also Maine and Minnesota are border states with Canada.  Usually in the US when one thinks of border states, the dichotomy from the Southern Rebel and Northern Yankee is what books mean.  But there is a bigger border of states the see-saw with Canada.







 The animation of Rocky & Bullwinkle & Friends tapped a sweet spot in America.  It was revived in the 1990s with Ren & Stimpy Show and later you could see this style with Powerpuff Girls.

  1. I’m impressed with the parody so much, I think it is worth a real flag as such. Do I have your permission?
