* ''[[FoxTrot]]'' had a moment coming at the end of a (week's worth) discussion by Roger and Andy about the success of the ''[[Dilbert]]'' comic (which might also count as an extended Shout Out]. In the end, they conclude that ''Dilbert'' is likely popular simply based on its own merits, meaning that [[Follow the Leader|emulation of a current success]] isn't a particularly good idea. Jason (drawn in a slightly different style) then runs in, telling his parents to [[Calvin and Hobbes|check out the cool stuffed tiger he found]].
{{quote|'''Roger:''' Maybe we should include the recent past in that statement, too...
'''Andy:''' I don't know. There's something to be said for nostalgia. }}
** [[Serial Escalation|FOUR]] were packed into this strip:
{{quote|(The characters are sitting at a campfire)
'''Paige:''' I miss [[Beverly Hills, 90210|Brandon and Dylan]].
'''Peter:''' I miss [[The Simpsons (animation)|Bart and Homer]].
'''Andy:''' I miss [[Good Morning America|Bryant and Kate]].
'''Jason:''' I miss [[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Worf and Data]]
'''Roger:''' (eating the marshmallows) Am I, um, missing something? }}
** The strip made a double reference to ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' and ''[[Game of Thrones]]'' in [http://www.gocomics.com/foxtrot/2012/04/01/ the April 1, 2012, strip].
* At some point, nearly every comic strip (and webcomic) has had a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[Peanuts]]''. Too many to list.
** [http://www.chivian.com/chivian/PeanutsTribute.html Forty comic strips] did a shout out to Peanuts in one day.
** Returning the favor, ''Peanuts'' has enough Shout-Outs to other works to fill [[Peanuts/Shout Out|their own page]].
* In ''[[Calvin and Hobbes]]'', Hobbes once used Crisco to style Calvin's hair into ''[[Astro Boy (manga)|Astro Boy]]'''s pointy-horn-hair. Hobbes points this out, which Calvin (and later Suzie) thinks is awesome.
** In one Sunday strip, Calvin's parents admire a ''[[Krazy Kat]]'' comic strip in a museum. If they're not in museums, they should be.
** The names Calvin and Hobbes are taken from a 16th-century theologian (John Calvin) and a 17th-century philosopher (Thomas Hobbes).
