* GilliganCut: After Calvin tells Susie about Colonel Izo's arrival at Kei's house and that they're expected to sit down to tea with him, Susie vehemently refuses. Cut to Susie with a tea cup in her hand, staring fearfully at the Colonel.
** When Calvin asks if Sokka left some kind of excuse as to why they left on the Boiling Rock mission, Sokka says that he wrote a note with a legitimate excuse that wouldn't arouse any suspicions.

** At the Boiling Rock, while Calvin admits that while working in a ''volcano'' makes heat dispersion a priority, he questions a female guard about why [[BareYourMidriff their armor would leave a certain portion of their body with sensitive organs exposed]], a design flaw the guard had wondered about herself. Later, when some of the guards are talking about seeing the light from the teleporter marking the location, Calvin is able to convince them it was [[AWizardDidIt spirits]] instead of an Earth Kingdom weapon by pointing out that it even if the Earth Kingdom ''had'' a secret weapon like that to test, it wouldn't make sense for them to come to the remote and highly secure prison to test it.

* BareYourMidriff: Calvin lampshades this with the uniforms of the female guards at the Boiling Rock, pointing out how it leaves several important organs undefended, something the guard he asked had wondered herself.

[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8244357/1/Elemental-Flux Elemental Flux]] is a fanfic by the author of ''Fanfic/TheBestSevenYears'', Blu Taiger. It is a crossover story between ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes and WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender. Calvin, Susie, and Hobbes wake up in the middle of a grassy field with no memory of how they got there. All they know is that the locals speak some language that they don't understand, Hobbes is a real tiger now, and people can shoot fire from their hands. Calvin also, for some reason, has a strange devise in his pocket... How will they get home?

Has been completed.

* OrphanedPunchline

* OurWormholesAreDifferent: [[spoiler:FTL capable civilizations apparent;y regularly use wormholes to make traversing interstellar distances easier. The teleporter locking onto a wormhole that would let it jump to the Avatar planet (Galaxoid and Nebular had originally planned to hide it there because it was the closest one to their own homeworld before deciding it was too obvious a choice) is what resulted in the Earth trio ending up there in the first place]].

* [[BearsAreBadNews Platypus-Bears Are Bad News]]

** After joining Zuko in his camp.
---> '''Susie''' "See, I told you (Li) was Zuko."
---> '''Calvin''' [[Film/ThePrincessBride "Yes, you're very smart. Now, shut up!"]]

* [[AWizardDidIt A Spirit Did It]] One possible explanation for how the kids are suddenly able to understand the Avatar-verse language.
** Invoked by Calvin, who convinces some guards that spirits caused the light show from the teleporter, not an Earth Kingdom secret weapon, noting that for once he's glad that in the Avatar World, "spirit shenanigans" can be used as a legitimate excuse.

* UnstoppableRage The platypus-bear just won't quit. Even after having a tiger clamp onto his back, getting repeatedly pelted with a hefty branch, taking a rock to the head, shoulders and ''gut'' ''AND'' getting all four of his paws stuck in the ground, he just won't be satisfied until he's massacred the three earthlings. It's only the teleporter activating with it's lightning-like effect that finally scares him away.

* BookEnds The story begins with Calvin, Susie and Hobbes waking up under a tree on the Avatar world and ends with them waking up under a tree back on Earth.

** [[spoiler: When Susie, frustrated by her captivity and how horrible Azula is being to her so-called "friends"m gets frustrated and starts stomping her feet while tied to a pole, she discovers that she can ''lavabend'']].

** Zuko saves Azula's life when her attempt to [[spoiler: capture the teleporter at the Air Temple]] goes south, and when Azula ''demands'' he enact some kind of price for it, both out of hatred of the thought of being indebted to him and an honest disbelief that he'd save her if he ''didn't'' have some scheme to benefit from it instead of it just being because they're siblings, Zuko tells her that his price is that she stops hunting the Avatar, and she isn't to send anyone ''else'' after him either. When Azula asks him why he thinks that she'd agree to that, he asks her if her honor really means so little to her, which stops her in her tracks.
** [[spoiler: When Azula has Calvin captive as the attack on the Earth Kingdom is starting, she starts saying that she should be at her father's side, only for Calvin to point out that Ozai probably wouldn't have ''let'' her join him, pointing out that Ozai had usurped the throne from his own brother, rhetorically asking her if she's sure that e wouldn't have given her a "meaningless participation award" and left her behind, among other statements to get under her skin, which are all ''entirely accurate'']].

* SmartPeoplePlayChess: Susie is rather good at chess, as well as Hobbes and Sokka, who actually manages to beat her the first time that they play.

* WhatDidIDoLastNight: Invoked. When Calvin is being interrogated as to why he didn't speak the local language upon being arrested and not being able to tell the warden his hometown, Calvin smartly replies "That was some party." The warden muses (once he's alone) that he never gets invited to parties.
