** Really, this is a major part of Calvin's character. It's not a coincidence that he shares [[MeaningfulName his name]] with John Calvin, who believed in predestination and thus that free will and responsibility were mere illusions. Unlike his namesake who considered this a theological argument for why almost all of mankind was incapable of salvation by nature, Calvin uses it as a reason for why he shouldn't be punished for anything he does at all.

* This trope is by far ComicStrip/{{Calvin|And Hobbes}}'s biggest flaw.

* ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'': This trope is by far Calvin's biggest flaw.

It's likely not a coincidence that he shares [[MeaningfulName his name]] with John Calvin, who believed in predestination and thus that free will and responsibility were mere illusions. Of course, unlike his namesake who considered this a theological argument for why almost all of mankind was incapable of salvation by nature, Calvin uses it as a reason for why he shouldn't be punished for anything he does at all.
** Calvin is repeatedly shown to be a fan of beliefs or philosophies which absolve him of personal responsibility or morality, such as fatalism, nihilism, or astrology. Of course, the story just as often puts Calvin in his place for thinking he could shirk accountability, such as when Calvin says anything bad that he does was fated to happen is immediately followed by Hobbes pushing him into a mud puddle and [[OriginalPositionFallacy saying it was fated to happen]].

* ''ComicStrip/ForBetterOrForWorse'': When Thèrése divorces Anthony, he places all of the blame on her feet for her infidelity and emotional distance to their daughter. However, most of the issues are ''his'' fault: He convinced her to live in the suburbs (which she disliked) and have a baby (although she didn’t really want children), did nothing about her PPD, and lied about taking on childcare because he assumed that she would want to be a stay at home mother after birth. To make matters worse, he emotionally cheated on her with his ex girlfriend Elizabeth during their entire relationship. Nobody calls Anthony out on any of this and they blame Thèrése for everything.

** In their ''Hackmaster'' role-playing campaign, the boys' characters, called ''The Untouchable Trio,'' have burned villages to the ground, started wars, committed mass murder, devastated entire nations ... Yet, whenever the Untouchable Trio encountered trouble from people knowing them by reputation and hating them, the boys would immediately start whining about how they were always getting "screwed over." When the Untouchable Trio was arrested and taken under imperial guard to stand trial for their crimes, Bob accused B.A. (the group's GM) of having a vendetta against their characters. It never seemed to occur to Bob that being put in prison just ''might'' be a logical consequence of killing thousands of innocent people.

* One ''ComicStrip/PhoebeAndHerUnicorn'' storyline involves a [[MixAndMatchCritters duck-billed dragon]] named [[PunnyName Bill]] confronting Phoebe and telling her to stop hanging out with Marigold, claiming the unicorn destroyed his house. Marigold later reveals that Bill had a [[GingerbreadHouse house made of chocolate]], and he ate it after she pointed out it looked delicious, before blaming her for giving into temptation.

* ''ComicBook/GastonLagaffe'', the titular [[TheKlutz clumsy]] [[ClassicalAntiHero anti-hero]] is nearly responsible of every problems happening in the office, but he always find a way to blame it on the others.

* ''ComicStrip/BloomCounty''; In 1988, the Meadow Party nominated Bill the Cat - likely the most unelectable candidate in history - for President. Naturally, he lost, and his campaign manager Milo blamed everyone and everything but the obvious:

* Lucy from ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' is quick to blame others for things that were often her fault in the first place, the worst example of this being "It's Your First Kiss Charlie Brown". It's an important football game -an actual ''game'' with points and a ref and all- and she pulls the ball away from Charlie Brown ''four times''. Again, a real game, not playing in a field. Then she blames Charlie Brown when the team loses, and team captain [[IdiotBall Peppermint Patty]] yells at him too.
