Limerick: In one strip, Red writes a limerick about a Nantucket dog who loves to dig and gets his coat muddy whenever it rains. He says in satisfaction that that's a dirty limerick.

Balloon Belly: Red is known to binge on Halloween candy every few years. Also, he tried to break his own watermelon-seed-spitting record, and his mom makes great cookies and fudge.

Moby Schtick: Parodied with the recurring Moby Tadpole, a giant tadpole that Red and Rover try to catch (but not kill) every summer. Somehow he never turns into a frog, but then this is Comic-Book Time (and it's implied that Moby Tadpole may not even exist).

comment
Adopt the Food: Played with in one Sunday strip. While Red is eating breakfast, Rover asks him if he's going to eat all his "Wally", positing that the owner of the pig must have cared for it like a pet. Too weirded out to eat it, Red gives it to the dog. Then he starts on his eggs and Rover asks him if he's going to eat "Ricky Chicky."

Comical Nap Drool: In this strip, Rover is licking Red’s face incessantly, until Red finally tells him to stop, and that his face is plenty wet – in reality, Red has fallen asleep in class, having only dreamt of Rover licking him, and his face is actually wet from lying in a puddle of his own drool.

Counting Sheep: Red, nervous about his upcoming return to school, lies awake. When Rover suggests he count sheep, Red says he tried, and it made things worse. His thought bubble reveals that he imagined drawing sheep on a blackboard, with the teacher telling him he missed one and ordering him to do it over.

Prefers Going Barefoot
 Red and Rover (Comic Strip) / int_ee2a3bfc
comment
Prefers Going Barefoot: Red is shown many times to delight in being barefoot in the summer. In one strip, Rover darts up to greet him at the beginning of the summer, knocking Red's shoes and socks off in the process. He then asks Red what he wants to do first. Red's reply is "Trade my shoes and socks for a pair of bare feet." Another time, he strips them off, along with his shirt, to show that "summer is here." He also makes "bare feet" a summer agenda, and in one strip, when he is about to go back to school, he claims in the shoe shop, his new shoes feel odd, which his mum says any shoes would, as he's gone barefoot all summer. The shop worker says he knows a good school in Hawaii, which Red thinks sounds good, but his mum then buys the new shoes.
