[[Secondary characters in Calvin and Hobbes#Moe|Moe]] is the prototypical [[bully]] character in ''Calvin & Hobbes'', "a six-year-old who shaves" who is always shoving Calvin against walls, demanding his lunch money and calling him "Twinky". Moe is the only regular character who speaks in an unusual font: his (frequently monosyllabic) dialogue is shown in crude, lower-case letters. Watterson describes Moe as "every jerk I've ever known".
====Uncle Max====
Uncle Max, who is Calvin's Dad's brother appeared in a short series of strips.
===Calvin's Alter Egos===
In "Calvin and Hobbes" there are many strips where Calvin "changes" to see from a different viewpoint. Calvin's egos are:
====Spaceman Spiff====
Based on a comic Watterson drew for a German class, Spaceman Spiff flies a little red spaceship and "fights" many different kinds of brutal alien race.
 
====Tracer Bullet====
Tracer Bullet, drawn in the strips with a dark-toned, [[film-noir]] style, is a violent, tough-guy private eye, who appears only when Calvin is having a problem of some sort.
 
====Stupendous Man====
Stupendous Man is a superhero who wears a red cape and hood, and looks very much like Calvin. Stupendous Man is Calvin's second most common alter ego, after Spaceman Spiff.
 
====Captain Napalm====
Captain Napalm was only taken as an alter ego once, and apparently died in the closet he got trapped in.
 
====Safari Al====
Safari Al also appeared only once in the strip.
