What guys? Everyone would be younger. And besides, how much younger can you make the characters? They are in freaking first grade!!

Perhaps it is coming. True, the characters look older than they are said to be, and act older, but as was pointed out, the shows are the same.

And no ret-con needed. Just an experiment of Dexter's or Mandark's gone horribly wrong...

thinking about it is a good idea to keep them as the same age but still it would have been nice for them to have trouble in school

uhhhh...................PUDDING!

Don't bring pedophilia into the mix!

And for some other people, they don't look young because of the style. If you watch anime, you can tell that the younger characters just look like smaller selves of the older characters.

For the last time, age doesn't matter. They look however old you perceive them, and you can envision them as a choice age just by thinking. Just because they act more mature and intelligent that most first graders, doesn't mean that they should be made older. Is it so wrong that people can be smarter or more mature than society says they should be?

I have to concur with redstar because age should not be the standard it should be based on how the individual performs in society i have met plenty of people older than myself and the sure as hell dont act it . So age shouldnt be an issue the comic is great as is and i will leave it at that.

I like them the way they are. It shows ME that younger people can experience drama too. Plus, if they were older, it may ruin their child-like innocence(like bubbles, for a very good example). It may sound dorky, but that's just crazy ol' me.

You may all now beat me up with sticks now

Younger people experience a very different kind of drama than adults do, but this is a cartoon so what happens in real life doesn't really matter.

Don't make them older, and don't make them younger. Keep 'em the age they are now, and no one gets hurt...

even though the story says first grade, the girls think talk and act like fifth graders. that is what i thought they were at first, because i read the archives backwards from last to first.

oh come on now i'm sure you have all done that at one time or other.

so it would not make sense to make them much older than that, unless you are prepared to get into NC-17, which would be rude.

Hey... go read the rpg thread. Everyone can do drama. The earliest I've seen is ten though.

drama yes. "desperate teenage housewives", no.

What is that supposed to mean?

it means i think it is fun watching the ppg expand their roles here but i just do not want to see s-e-x!

No offense, but if you call the stuff in the rpg thread drama then this discussion might as well just end right now. That stuff isn't drama.

You actually could pretend they are in the third or second grade, and nothing would really change. Much older than that, and you're going for changing the storyline and plot.

As for stereotyping age-related behaviour, I think that's called developmental psychology. Then there's also social psychology and who knows what else. It's more or less accurate, and the girls and Dexter would at least be, like, 9. But still, this isn't psychology.

On a diffrent topic, my elementray school never had a soccer team... I don't think we even had any sports team. Perhaps Megasville elementary is a part of a larger campus, with, like, middle school there? I dunno.. in some districts elementary goes to 6th grade, middle is 7-9th and high is 10-12th. And my high school doesn't even have three stories...

If that was comfusing, I'll sum it up: the characters act several years older than first grade, but I don't really care, because it doesnt' matter.

I agree. Also, my high school didn't have three stories either, and it was pretty big, so meh.

I agree that it would ruin the story if Bleedman did it now.

Maybe after the initial run he could do another series.

I'm sure it could be done. The current story is just getting interesting.

i read a comic about some Chinese kittens called "Ling Ling" or something like that.

the little girls granny changed them by magic into hot teenagers so they could join an elite club and be cheerleaders. it was bizarre but interesting.

the fans wanted more "action" from these "improved" girls so the artist started an adults-only age 18 restricted site which imho was pretty disgusting.

i hope this place never ends up like that.

Agreed.

Plus, the whole comic hasn't really gotten underway yet. You're in the introduction. So who knows what will happen.

I for one don't care about the age. None of my friends who I introduced to the comic do either, except for the greatest saying by one of them, "There hott, but there in first grade!!!" We still laugh about this.
Lets see, PPGs understand civic responsibility and know various fighting styles and big words. I didn't have that extensive vocabulary at that age and lots of people don't have one now. Dexter makes things that other scientists can't even begin to fathom and Dee Dee has an understanding of philosophy on par with the Dali Lama (pardon my spelling if its wrong) and you want to argue about age mattering.
The whole point of them being in first grade is that you think of them as innocents. I don't know of too many elementary schools with lockers in the halls but it is a classic setting for school social interaction. By having them in first grade they may have conversations that are ennuendo free. Also everyone knows that first grade is the last year of innocents in America. After 1st grade you slowly start learning cusswords and other such things from tv, older siblings, fellow classmates, and other influences. If you don't like them being in first grade just forget about it and insert grade here.
We are dealing with cartoons so concessions must be made. I for one like the style and am amazed at how well the characters transformed american tv to a manga style.
