Now it would put them born around 1987. Have references to their younger years changed to reflect this, or are we just supposed to suspend our disbelief and accept that someone who was a baby when The Simpsons itself first aired was also a teenager during Woodstock? --- darkx Games beaten in 2023 - 7; Most recent - Professor Layton and the Curious Village <cite>Underleveled posted [p:976275624] in Question f...

TotallyNotMI 09/24/23 11:35:50 AM #3:	It's definitely a sliding timeline. There was a somewhat recent episode that had a flashback to them in high school and referenced Y2K --- We do not have much connection, you and I. Still, this encounter feels special. I hope you won't mind if I think of you as a friend. <cite>TotallyNotMI posted [p:976275662] in Question f... [t:80575860]...</cite> <quote>It's definitely a sliding timeline.

I mean I know characters in cartoons almost never age, and you'll see characters be the same age through like 8 Christmases or 3 presidents, but this is such an extreme example of one lasting so long that at this point the adult characters would have been young children at the point in time when the show first aired that I'm curious as to how they handle it. --- darkx Games beaten in 2023 - 7; Most recent - Professor Layton and the Curious Village <cite>Underleveled posted [p:976275779] in Question f...
