He doesn't have an "arc," per se, but there's often one or two strips at the end of a story where Calvin discusses with Hobbes what has happened and what he gleaned from it. It's not always the correct lesson, but it shows he thinks and ponders what happens to him. That's how growth occurs.

Calvin doesn't grow, though. He's capable of introspection, far beyond the level of a real 6 year old, but he never does anything about it. That's pretty much what drives the whole comic.
