Line 8:
** In the story where Calvin was in the class play about nutrition, he told his mom that he'd be playing "a great dramatic role" that would leave the audience ''in tears.'' He was playing ''an onion.'' I only just realized the hidden joke there... Bravo to Mr. Watterson, especially if it was intentional. --Toru771
* It just hit me that Calvin is the epitome of the [[Byronic Hero]]. -[[The Shadow]]
* One of the story arcs has Hobbes shaving Calvin's head. In Latin, Calvin means "bald."
*When Calvin needs to do a test, he has Stupendous Man do it for him. He later flunks the test…because he cheated by having someone else do it.
* One strip has Calvin saying he believes in predestination. Calvin is named after John Calvin, founder of Calvinism, which has predestination as a doctrine.
* In one of the last strips, Calvin grosses out Susie by stuffing manicotti down his shirt and [[Ludicrous Gibs|pretending his guts are exploding out of his stomach.]] He then mentions to himself in the final panel that he should try this in class. Given that the series never evolved timewise from Calvin's standpoint (in that he was perpetually 6 years old and stuck in the same grade for the series' run) could this possibly be [[Noodle Incident|THE noodle incident?]]
