Calvin and Hobbes: What is the Noodle Incident?

Bill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes is a strip that depicts every element of the lives of its titular characters, Calvin and Hobbes. Calvin and Hobbes constantly play games, take trips to school, and fight unrelentingly on their doorstep. Everything about their lives is proudly depicted on the panel — everything, that is, except for the mysterious and often-mentioned Noodle Incident (and the less-focused on, but just as mysterious Salamander Incident).
The mysterious Noodle Incident is referenced regularly in Calvin and Hobbes, though its nature is never revealed to the reader. Calvin and Hobbes discuss it, and Hobbes often teases Calvin about the incident, but neither ever explains what it actually was, even after it becomes clear that Hobbes has learned the truth about the Incident. Still, it has become an enduring question in the strip’s lore. Decades after it ended, the secrets of the Noodle Incident remain a shadow over the strip, and the one last detail of Calvin’s childhood has not been unveiled.
Calvin is constantly inventing new things, which he happily shares with Hobbes. He reveals the Duplicator, the Cerebral Enhance-o-Tron, and the Transmogrifier with nothing but pride in his talents. He often drags Hobbes into pranks, where he terrorizes everyone in the neighborhood. Susie, Moe, and his parents have all been his victims at some time or another, and he has always proudly related the details of his mischievous antics to Hobbes. His closest friend is never left to wonder about Calvin’s behavior for long because of Calvin’s boasting nature.
