The Noodle Incident, for example, never is actually explained. Watterson liked to leverage the unknown.

The Noodle Incident is a mysterious incident often alluded to in Calvin and Hobbes. It is mentioned several times in the course of the series, but the reader is never told exactly what it was, as Bill Watterson wanted the reader to make up the story themselves, claiming that it would be even more hilarious.
