Current Events > Any of you know how old Homer Simpson is supposed to be?

(+) Yeah! (+)

how about bart and lisa? i don't think they're ages change throughout the series. But iirc it was mentioned or something

---

Bart is 10 I think. At least he used to be in the shows prime.

---

Bart is 10, Lisa is 8, unless their age changed in the past twenty years.

I think homer and marge are in their mid to late 30s.

---

Homer started off at 34 I believe, but his age has floated up a bit since then. He mentions being 38 in S10 (Wizard of Evergreen Terrace)

---

there's an episode where Homer sees a news story about life expectancy being "76.2 years" and feels insecure because he's "already 38.1" and he's therefore "wasted half [his] life"

he goes on about this for a little while. then he talks to Marge, who tells him "you're 39"

---

Bart is 10, Lisa is 8. Homer and Marge have started out at early 30s but apparently they're late 30s/early 40s now, Weird how the parents age but the kids don't lol

It's more of a retcon. In the early seasons the show runners had Homer around their age. As they got older they subtly made him older until a certain point. Homer would be a different character as a fourty-something.
