He is in his late 30s. That now puts his birthday right around the start of the 80s.

Wouldn't that mean that Homer is now the same age as original Bart?

Urgh. That's not made it into the show, right? I've not watched The Simpsons in a few years.

Not yet but it will happen soon.

Yes. In fact, there was a relatively recent episode that showed Marge and Homer in college. In the 90s. Contrast with a much earlier episode showed that they were already married with children in the 80s.

This is what happens in long-running cartoons (and comics) where the characters are not allowed to age,

Time is a crazy subject with this show. So much to break down.

The premier was on December 17, 1989 with the episode 'Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire' which tells us the story of how they got Santa's Little Helper.

At this point and time here are the ages. (assuming the show's premier is set around present time)

Homer - 33 - Born May 12, 1956
Marge - 33 - Born October 1, 1956 (supposedly her birth date is all over the place)
Bart - 10 - Born February 23, 1979
Lisa - 8 - Born April 2, 1981
Maggie - 1 - ??? 1988

Now from what I'm reading Homer fell in love with Marge while in highschool in 1974. This would make sense. At the time Homer would be 18 and Marge 17 during the school year.

As the show progresses their birth years change to fit with the times. So if we stick with the core idea their new birthdays right now are...

Homer - May 12, 1984
Marge - October 1, 1984
Bart - February 23, 2007
Lisa - April 2, 2009
Maggie - 2016

But then we have contradictions that make your head hurt. The characters don't really age. The only ones to age from what I've observed over the years are Apu's octuplets.

In the Season 10 episode 'The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace' where Homer becomes an inventor he says he's 38.
