Hobbes is sad a few times. Calvin was sad when he was "turned into" an owl.

Calvin builds many snowmen that look like they're experiencing comedically horrific injuries but there's no actual blood or gore in the comic.

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

there are a couple instances of calvin's parents punishing him by methods like spanking or throwing objects at him - these are played as punchlines and the impacts aren't shown

in a literal sense - there is a running bit where hobbes literally stalks calvin or otherwise lies in wait to attack him in the same manner a tiger would do to prey, although he does this with no ill intent besides roughing him up a bit

One of the strips is based on the passing of the author's real-life cat, but this detail is only available in specific publications

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

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

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

In a story arc where Calvin's school puts on a play about the food groups, Calvin asks Susie what she's going to be playing, and she answers "I'm 'fat'". Calvin says, "No, I mean, in the play."

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.
