essines Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 It is called money. the staying power of a popular sitcom that can never end/change is fucking huge. look at the simpsons. Bart simpson would be like 30 years old by now. who the fuck wants to see that. if only i were animated.

YEK Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 On 9/13/2010 at 12:00 AM, Zephyr_Nova said: The actual biological reason for this, is that in the week between episodes that you experience cartoons only experience one night. Because of this, cartoon characters take several seasons to experience a full year, and even then their aging processes are far more gradual than ours. Between seasons they are frozen in suspended animation and don't age at all. smart ass Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide YEK's signature Hide all signatures Reveal hidden contents !:/music Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/59619-why-dont-cartoon-characters-age/page/2/#findComment-1414419 Share on other sites More sharing options...
