-'''Tracer Bullet''' is a fictional detective from [[Bill Watterson]]'s ''[[Calvin and Hobbes]]'' [[comic strip]].  Like Calvin's other major alter egos, [[Stupendous Man]] and [[Spaceman Spiff]], he appears when Calvin finds himself in a situation he can't handle.  He is a detective styled after ''[[film noir]]'' and [[detective fiction]] [[stereotype]]s; consequently, he wears a [[trench coat]] and [[fedora]].  He resembles Calvin somewhat, though the high-contrast art style Watterson uses in the Tracer Bullet strips makes Bullet's features harder to see and obscures the similarity.
