** The strip where Calvin filches his father's glasses, dresses as him, and says, "Calvin, go do something you hate! Being miserable builds character!"

*** "Bill Watterson was the first cartoonist to use facial expressions to convey the emotions of his characters" was an under the radar meme that came from people commenting this unironically in other Calvin and Hobbes Facebook groups, then being used ironically in this group as though no other comic used facial expressions before 1985.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: In an [[https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1986/01/19 early strip]], Calvin and Hobbes are puzzled by Calvin's study material for school. In the next panel, ''[[AnimateInanimateObject the TV answers Calvin's question]]'' (albeit in a thought bubble). This never happened again; presumably Waterson was [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness trying something he decided didn't work]]. [[note]]That said; The punchline from the TV is fitting since the question was what "Religion is the opiate of the masses." means and the Boob Tube's thought bubble answer, "It means Karl Marx hadn't seen anything, yet!"[[/note]]

* AluminumChristmasTrees: In [[https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1995/05/25 one strip]], Calvin's dad waxes nostalgic about wooden escalators. While the snipe at modern technology is obvious, it's easy to assume he's just talking about ''stairs'' to mess with Calvin (and indeed, it would even be in character for him to do so), but no, wooden escalators were a real thing. One is even still in operation at Macy's in New York City.

** "[[https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/2395841-calvin-and-hobbes Oh. I should've guessed.]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the [[https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1986/11/26 November 26th, 1986]] comic, Calvin asks his dad how they know the weight limit on bridges, to which his dad simply replies that they drive heavier trucks over it until it breaks, weigh the last truck, and rebuild the bridge. One person edited the comic so that his dad actually [[PictorialSpeechBubble says the diagrams]] used to figure out a bridge's limit, followed by the final panel cropping out Calvin's parents and just leaving him saying "Oh. I should've guessed.", which has become a minor template for whenever someone explains something really complicated (for example, WebVideo/{{pannenkoek2012}} [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image0_241.png explaining invisible walls]]).[[/labelnote]]

* ArcFatigue: In the 10th anniversary retrospective book, author Bill Watterson writes about how he wanted to get this reaction with one particular story arc, but wound up fatiguing himself instead. Specifically, this was the surreal arc where Calvin's personal gravity reverses, then he grows so large that he falls off the planet. Watterson wanted to drag the story out until he started receiving complaints from readers--but instead he wrapped up the arc of his own volition first. Aside from getting cold feet over deliberately annoying his readers, Watterson just lost interest in the story itself, describing it as "weirdness for weirdness' sake."

* SacredCow: Unlike the likes of ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'' or ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'', you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone that ''genuinely'' hates this comic or finds it worthy of mockery. The closest you'll get is the aforementioned MemeticMutation above where Calvin "kills" Hobbes by taking medication or jokes about how they were killed in a horrible sledding accident following the final comic, but even those jokes are considered stale and overdone.

** Bill's decision [[FanworkBan not to license]] the strip. Many agree with his choice, pointing to other strips that were cheapened by [[CashCowFranchise excessive merchandising]], and saying that anyone who wants merch isn't a [[NoTrueScotsman true C&H fan]]. Others lament over how great it would be to see an AnimatedAdaptation, especially since the characters would've had a chance to become more popular in other countries. In regards to this, there's three divisions about merchandise: Either A) You're [[NoTrueScotsman not a true fan for wanting merch]], B) You don't want merch for respecting Bill's choice, or C) TakeTheThirdOption and while respecting Bill's decision against ''official merch'', but feel fan merch is a ''whole'' different story. And D) Respecting Watterson's wishes, but understanding the lack of licensing meant it opened the doors to things like the 'Calvin peeing on things' decals that goes against the spirit of the comic.
