The Simpsons has been on the air for an impressive 28 seasons (and counting!), making it both the longest-running American sitcom and animated program in history. While some things always change (see: couch gags), many things in Springfield stay exactly the same. For instance, Maggie Simpson has been a baby for the last 29 years, something that Twitter user Brian Frink recently called out. He posed the question on Twitter: ?Umm I?m confused. This is the first time I?m watching @TheSimpsons in forever? ?How is Maggie still a baby with a pacifier? Shouldn?t she be in college by now?!?? As Bart Simpson would say, ay caramba! Luckily, The Simpsons had a quick answer: magic. That's the magic of #TheSimpsons.?
