If Bart Simpson grew up with the times, he would be 25 years old.

And Lisa would be 22.

And Maggie would be 16.

And Homer and Marge would be 52.

Chew on that for a little while.

1. Should I print out your post, and then chew it?

or try chewing it with the monitor? ;)

2. Bite Me!

3. Yeah

Homer use to be 15 years older than me. I think I have caught up to him. DOH!

5. Lisa would be my age.

Bart might've already got that demolition job and all those tattoos by now.

4. Bart would be 27.

The shorts first started playing on "The Tracy Ullman Show" in 1987.

7. I'm counting from the premiere of the FOX series.

The beginning that actually counts.

10. Then he would be 25

It premiered in December 1989. He was 10. That was a little over 15 years ago.

12. You are correct, Zomby.

DAMN this North Dakota math!!!

But Lisa would be 22 still, because in December of 1989, there was some info distributed with some facts about the family, and it said Lisa was 7 1/2 at that time. So one should assume that she'll turn 23 within the next few months.

13. Rule #1 on DU

ZombyWoof is ALWAYS right. ;-)

6. Charlie Brown and Dennis the Menace..

are approaching the age for Social Security. Dagwood and the characters from "Blondie" are near 100. That's what I liked about "For Better or For Worse" is that Lynn Johnston's family ages with the strip.

8. The creators of "Peanuts" and "Dennis the Menace" are dead now...

So I would assume that the characters in a way died when the creator died, and they weren't making new strips anymore.

9. At 24 has he and Millhouse started the band?

Or has Bart already realized his dream of:

"Waking up on the floor of a Paris bathroom."

[SmileyBoy]

11. I think that's Ralph you're talking about.

He and Bart get wasted every night now.:D
