I've never seen it but have you the article about how Fight Club is Calvin and Hobbes grown up. It's a bit silly but it does make a interesting argument. http://www.metaphilm.com/philm.php?id=29_0_2 I think he shouldn't grow up, Calvin had an air of eternal optimism about him that only works when he's young, and a child's (albeit a fairly philosophical child) perspective on life. When he's older I think that would be missing from anything he was in, and, although I haven't read these fan fictions, I don't think they'd work particularly well

Making Calvin an adult would just be an abonination of the entire Calvin & Hobbes comic. As Beany says, Calvin has his own (sometimes childlike, sometimes warped) sense of the world around him. His views on things, how he reacts, etc. I think it would be one of the worst ideas ever. They can't even want to call it Calvin & Hobbes anymore. What grown man's imagination is going to bring to life a stuffed tiger?

I prefer to remember them as children of the 1980's.

Never had seen that, but like to remember him as the kid he was.
