I based my Spiff narration on Star Wars: The Clone Wars. And yes, I know I mispronounced sacrificial. Cast: Me as Calvin, Hobbes, Spiff, and Miss Wormwood My mom as Calvin’s mom
I have a son who was so much like Calvin. He grew up, married, and has a family of his own now. I still have Calvin, though. The perennial 6 year old ADHD/ADD philosopher, pilot, and terror of parents, teachers, and little girls.
Calvin's teacher reminds of a sentence (supposedly written by a student back in the day): "I never knew what a dinosaur looked like until I met my 3rd grade teacher."!
My theory is that Calvin has ADHD, schizophrenia, and probably something else. This would explain why he's so smart for a 6 year old and imaginative, but yet he also can't sit still for very long and has trouble with authority. But there is a chance that some of the things he imagines could still actually be real, just to him. (IDK, I'm just one guy.)
I feel sorry for the poor fool who thinks he/she can capture the spirit of this comic strip and somehow revive it under another name. I can't think of any I have seen that have tried.

I'm assuming he was/is your basic 6 year old.
Lamentations of genius?
Not even Spaceman Spiff can escape Mrs. Wormwood.
This is exactly the voice I hear in my head every time I read Spaceman Spiff, how strange is that
Calvin and Hobbes, Danae and Lucy, some of my favorites.
Somehow, Calvin and Hobbes seems better to have it read to you, than reading it yourself.

He is so naughty
