Calvin sometimes believes his parents, babysitter, teacher, etc are abusing him, but it's mainly him overreacting to them being strict.

A baby raccoon dies. While it's not shown and is actually referenced only, it's still very emotional.

A dead bird is seen in one comic. It's in a pretty realistic art style, but it's not bloody or anything.

Only in imagination sequences. Monsters will get heads squashed, and Calvin's head will occasionally (non-graphically) explode

Only in fictional sequences and generally played for laughs. In reality, Calvin is simply doing something such as refusing to take a bath.

There's an arc where Calvin's house is broken into, and he believes that Hobbes was stolen. However, we later find out that Hobbes is okay.

Calvin goes to the doctor's on some occasions. There is a comic where he gets a vaccination and overreacts to it, but the actual needle is not shown.

Calvin sometimes heavily refuses to do certain things, such as taking baths, and will throw tantrums about them. This could possibly count.

Calvin sometimes talks about how he doesn't like girls (mainly referring to Susie). It's more of a childish thing than actually hating anyone, however.

Calvin will pretend his lunch box is full of human or animal remains. It's not, and what he imagines is never shown
