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.
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.
"Unfortunately we're ALL "someone else" to someone else."
So true.
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

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...
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
Yeah I've seen this phrasing a lot, but never heard anyone use it in real life. I always assumed it was American.

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.

Super common phrasing in the US.
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
