** The strip has a [[http://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1992/03/18 take]] on this:
-->'''Calvin''': Mom, can I have some money to buy a Satan-worshiping, suicide-advocating heavy metal album?\\
'''Mom''': Calvin, the fact that these bands haven't killed themselves in ritual self-sacrifice shows that they're just in it for the money like everyone else. It's all for effect. If you want to shock and provoke, be sincere about it.[[note]]Paradoxically, many heavy metal bands have used Calvin's mother's argument to their own ends, as a defense of their free speech rights. When Music/JudasPriest were accused of inserting secret messages into one of their songs to persuade listeners to commit suicide, they retorted that [[PragmaticVillainy making their fans kill themselves would be counterproductive to the band's fortunes, since no one would be left alive to buy Judas Priest albums]].[[/note]]
** The page quote comes from a shoe commercial Calvin was impressed by, with a rock climber who'd quit his job to do this. Hobbes dissects it immediately, asking how he could afford the shoes without a job, while ridiculing his status as a rebellious individual since he urges people to all buy these shoes.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: One of Calvin's biggest flaws is that he never considers the consequences of his actions, always getting him into trouble. For example, in one story arc, he tried to gross out Susie by betting her that he'd eat a worm, but didn't consider the possibility that Susie wouldn't be grossed out and instead demanded that Calvin eat the worm in front of her (and in fact upped the bet by saying it'd only be worth it if Calvin ate ''five'' worms).
** Some of the earlier story arcs incorporated the longer Sunday format into them (for example, the "Yukon Ho!" story and the camping trip where it rained the entire week), but this is absent in later long-form stories because it took too much effort to ensure Sunday strips lined up with the dailies to make it worth the effort.[[note]]In the 10th anniversary edition commentary, Watterson stated that Sunday strips needed to be done at least two months in advance (meaning if a longer story arc had a Sunday incorporated into it, the entire story needed to be done two months in advance) and couldn't be plot essential, since many newspapers didn't include a Sunday strip.[[/note]]

This is possibly the only time they actually have fun together.
** Mom and Dad tend to be hard on Calvin when he breaks something in the house, usually because of the repairs and his lying about it. During the car arc, Calvin thinks they'll kill him for rolling the car into a ditch by accident, and runs away into the woods with Hobbes. When Mom sees the car in the ditch and realizes what it must mean, she runs to find Calvin in the woods. Her first reaction is to ask if he's okay. She tells him the car is fine, she's more worried about ''him'' because the car could have easily run him or Hobbes over, or if he had gotten injured in the woods no one would have known where to find him. Dad apparently had the same reaction offscreen, much to Calvin's surprise as he and Hobbes discuss this in bed.
** The last Rosalyn arc is a rare one where Calvin actually behaves in her presence, to the point where his parents think she must be joking when she said that she and Calvin played a game and he went to bed with no troble. Even Hobbes is shocked when Calvin asks him calmly to check his homework as he works to get it done before it gets done. The reason? Rosalyn said that Calvin could choose any game he wanted, and went along with it when he made her a mask for Calvinball.
