In exactly what way has Calvin & Hobbes been made inaccessible to new generations? By not allowing some horrible movie to be made of it? My young niece had no trouble inhaling all of the Calvin & Hobbes books; neither did my kids, 10-12 years ago.

If you want to advocate for shorter copyright terms, raising the salience of Calvin & Hobbes seems like the worst possible way to do it; this is one place where copyright is doing exactly what reasonable people want it to.
