Kommentar von Orphia

One of his farewell lines is "Have a stupendous day!". Stupendous Man was one of Calvin's alter-egos in Calvin and Hobbes, which is very cute.

This NPC (along with the Questgiver Hobbs) are a HUGE shoutout to the old late 80's and early 90's newspaper comic "Calvin and Hobbes."

To start, Hobbs starts the quest The Days are Just Packed, which is the name of one of the many books published containing strip collections.
Next is Sergeant Calvin HIMSELF who has a slew of custom dialogue lines referencing the comic itself. (Not to mention his blonde spiky hair that he was known for)
The first of which is one of his farewells, as Orphia already pointed out "Have a stupendous day!" is a clear reference to Calvin's alter-ego, Stupendous Man!
His next farewell is "There's Treasure everywhere in Stormsong." "There's Treasure Everywhere" is the name of another Calvin and Hobbes book.
One of his "pissed" emotes (which is too long for me to catch and write down in its entirety) basically describes His and Hobbes escapades riding down hills in a wagon- a frequent occurrence in the strips. Calvin also makes mention of pretending Hobbs was a Tiger- which was also a prominent element of the strip.
Another "pissed" line- "My parents always said I had an overactive imagination." is pretty self explanatory if you've ever read the strip! Plus I'm pretty sure his parents actually did say that on a few occasions...

Overall, its a pretty outstanding tribute to one of my favorite comic strips growing up. (Yes I'm old!) I'm just kinda surprised that it took them this long to put it in the game... and to be so extensive when they did!

*Edit*
After playing further, I found two more connections.
We have Mayor Roz who is likely a reference to Calvin's babysitter Rosalyn (and share's her blonde hair and ponytail) and the Horde leader Commander Wormwood who is named after Calvin's teacher, Ms Wormwood.
*Edit 2*
I managed to find another reference while doing Island Expeditions. The battle pet Leathewing Screecher has the description-
We don't know much about this species, but we do know this: bats aren't bugs.
Which is a reference to a series of strips where Calvin does a research paper on bats and instead of doing actual research he lazily comes up with the "fact" that bats are bugs and embellishes his paper based upon this "fact." Shenanigans ensue and his knowledgeable peers use the phrase BATS AREN'T BUGS! repeatedly.

Another line he says is:
"I just want to wish you good luck. We're all counting all on you." which is a little Airplane!y.
