Hello fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.
Calvin and Hobbes is a daily American comic strip created by cartoonist Bill Watterson that was syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995. Commonly cited as "the last great newspaper comic",[2][3][4] Calvin and Hobbes has enjoyed broad and enduring popularity, influence, and academic and philosophical interest… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_Hobbes

A bit off-topic, but is anyone else confused about how this is phrased? That "all" sounds really out of place to me...
It's a common enough way to say that. It means roughly "what are all the things that are missing" in this case.
Interestingly, the literal translation "… was alles fehlt" is perfect German
Super common phrasing in the US.
Yeah I've seen this phrasing a lot, but never heard anyone use it in real life. I always assumed it was American.
It's regional, even -- people from my part of the US are like to think you sound folksy if you use it. The "all" in "what all" is the same phenomenon as the "all" in "you all" that becomes "y'all". You can use it with most pronouns -- "who all is coming to dinner?" or "where all you been?". It's mostly an intensifier.
We say this in the Philly area.
Are you a yinzer?
Hah, no. Other side of philly. The single-finger salute side of philly.
I'm not the previous commenter, nor am I from Philly or Pittsburgh, but I do believe you just made an enemy for life.
Idk I think yinz is a top tier regionalism.
edit: I finally realized you included Pittsburgh because I've confused Pennsylvania towns. Sorry, everything east of the Mississippi just kinda all blends together for me; I didn't mean anything by it.
