Fun fact. I was 2 years older than Bart when the Simpsons started on the Tracy Ulman show and now I’m over a decade older than Marge and Homer.

I need a nap.

To be fair Homer is a rough 32.

The last time they mentioned his age it was 38/39. They keep changing it but keeping him and Marge in their 30s.

Honestly I wish they would age everyone up a year every decade. If they had done that we would be seeing the antics of a 13 year old Bart now and I think that could start with some really interesting character development instead of keeping him forever a 10 year old.

That’s just what 32 year olds looked like, coming out of the 80s.

If you want your mind blown when Simpsons started Marge and Homer were boomers, then Gen X and now they’re millennials. Bart, Lisa and Maggie started out as Gen X (underachiever and proud of it) then millennials, then gen z, and now they’re Gen alpha.

But grampa is always a ww2 vet.
