His canonical age is 34 to 40, so he's born after 1982
Homer was 34-40 in the 90s as well so he is simultaneously a boomer with millennial children, but also a millennial with alpha children.
That's what happens when you're a 30 year old franchise that never lets your characters age.
That's why Peter Parker is both a 16 year old in the 60s saying shit like "Boy she sure is a groovy gal!" to being a 16 year old in the year 2023 using a smartphone to take photos for J. Jonah Jameson
franchise that never lets your characters age.
I always found this weird too, but namely with Bobs Burgers, like there's no reason the kids shouldn't grow up over time and get meaningful character development through that. I get why you'd stick to the formula that works consistently, but BB is on like the 13th season, i'd love to see something different
If I ever wrote a Simpsons episode, I'd make time suddenly just have an effect on the setting. Abraham is dust, maggie's an adult, Lisa's been president, everyone acts like this was always the case
Lisa tried to become president but no one voted for her because the neoliberal idea that getting high grades in school will make you president is simply dumbass
Peter Parker has aged several times, they just reverse it or swap him out when he gets to retirement.
It wasn’t 16 year old Peter Parker that killed his wife Mary Jane with his radioactive semen after all
One of the sweetest and best episodes is season 2, episode 12 where Homer and Marge meet for the first time in high school in 1974.
And now it didn't even happen because more recent episodes portray Homer being a teenager in the late 90s.
They'll never stop The Simpsons, have no fears, we've got stories for years
