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

MODERATORS
Marylin Manson did a song about that once, in fact. He used... slightly different terminology.
Irresponsible Hate Anthem, although I think he was specifically implying that everyone is something someone else hates.
This is a hell of a lesson for a kid to learn through a comic.
Bill Watterson was the GOAT
Wait until they get to the

bird and the baby raccoon.
I think those arcs already happened. At least I remember seeing one or the other posted here.
I don't quite remember that one well.
If only my old collection hadn't been destroyed by a hurricane many years ago...
Have you figured out what all is missing?
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.
I'm not sure what's happening in this one? We are supposed to think they pretend to call the cops but they actually do?
I don't understand what you don't understand. The dad just got off the phone with the police, and they are talking about what happened.
What happened before this
They got home and discovered the house had been robbed. Hobbes is missing.
Holy shit
