B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for July 29, 2014

I like Americanswell, not the pushy onesOr the rude onesOr the dishonest onesand the city Americans are sometimes a bit obnoxiousAnd the gun nuts and the anti-gun nuts are a bit scaryand the ones who mistakenly think they’re superior due to education they think they have or the class they think they are or the moral superiority they think they embody..but I like all the rest(Both of them?)

sigh

@Jo Clear: couldn’t have said it better.

From what I’ve heard, folks in Wyoming don’t like the majority of Americans either.

The Grand Tetons and Yellowstone are beautiful, especially if you get off the beaten path. The roads are ridiculously crowded, but there are parts where you will be the only humans for miles around.

The Loop Road above Lander through part of the Wind River Mountains is hard to beat.

And I love driving along the Sweetriver River following the historic Oregon Trail. You get to see famous landmarks like Independence Rock, Devil’s Gate, and Split Rock all within a few miles of each other. If you really feel adventurous, you can stop in at Martin’s Cove and pull a handcart along the original Oregon Trail.

And no, I don’t work for the Wyoming Tourist Board. :) I just lived there for seven years.

I thought Canadians liked everyone? Why not go there!

Tennessee is the best bet – they wave ‘hello’ at everyone.

I’d like to go to the National Parks – sign me up!

I like driving across the country. The wife and I have done it, criss-crossed this nation many times. You tend to forget how beautiful this country really is. People are hit and miss all over, but this nation is truly a magnificent place.

Wyoming… But the sheep are nervous there.

Is Wyoming one of the 57 states?

Actually, now that the Chinese are traveling more, Americans are looking better and better. We’re not as rude, and we’re better spenders.

Hey I was in Wyoming (and Montana) last week. There were actually a lot of foreign visitors in Yellowstone. I recognized French for “1, 2, 3”. The counter at Granny’s Gourmet Donuts (wish I had a raspberry donut or three) in Bozeman, MT had lots of foreign coins on the counter. Free plug. If ever in Bozeman you have to try a donuit there.

Oh my friend told me the smart people in the area shop in Montana (no sales tax) but live in Wyoming (no state income tax).

I’d avoid New York, too.

The name of this comic is B.C. There is no America, no Wyoming, or no travel agents for that matter.

I’m retired military, which means in my younger years, I traveled a lot. My wife and I crisscrossed the country several times back when the interstate system wasn’t complete: when US-66 was the only way to get through the southwest. Each town had its flavor and there were numerous mom & pop businesses along the route. Gone are the towns and businesses replaced by 6 lanes of concrete in each direction and one-looks-just-like-the-other chain stores.

I also traveled all over the world. It’s a beautiful planet we live on and America has its share. Nonetheless, there are some places I would not want to live: most of them are overseas, some are right here.

We tend to see the best in other places and the worst in our own.

I just got back from Ireland. I was surprised by the number of American flags I saw while I was there. We are always treated like royalty on this and several other trips.

It was, to say the least, interesting to see how they reported the events of the past several weeks. I’ll refrain commenting to keep politics off this page.

Actually, Ireland likes Americans. Been there twice and the people couldn’t have been nicer. Plus they have Guiness!

You have about a month before the wind picks up crazy so now is as good a time as any. Also, Frontier Days just ended so Cheyenne is back to its usual self.

I was going to say ‘and they have cheese!’ but then I realized wrong USA state. …. I should be thinking Big Sky!

Don’t pay attention to the media. I’ve run into plenty of people around the world who like Americans.
