    What If cartoon characters would get old like normal people and what would they look like?

    Betty and Veronica were older than I was when I read them so they must be about 70 now.

    The Beavis and Butt-head one is priceless.
    Pretty sure they were at a party I went to at a friends house this summer.
    They were hanging out by the snack table, head bobbing to the music.
    I should have gone over and introduced myself.

    I had to check how old you were, @Tim Burr because I didn't grow up with Beavus and Butthead, think I remember them from when my son was a teen.

    I'm feeling ancient....last time I was talking to my 17 yr old grandson, I wanted to tell him how much I loved a cover that Disturbed did of the Simon and Garfunkel hit "The Sound of Silence" and he asked who they were. I said "never mind".

    @Chrissy Page I know them from my son, who likes them, along with 'Nine Inch Nails', etc.
    When Guns and Roses covered 'Knocking on Heavens Door' my son got real mad at me when
    I insisted that Bob Dylan really wrote the song. "NO WAY, THEY WRITE THEIR OWN STUFF!!!"
    What do you do?

    My son liked "Nine Inch Nails" also. My son was born in 1976.

    You might be surprised but I still buy Archie Comics until now. The last time I bought was last month - 5 pieces of double digest. The cast remains the same old Archie with his love interest Veronica and Betty and his pal Jughead plus the other classmates. With the drawing, there is a slight difference I guess because the cartoonist or illustrator have probably changed over the years. And when I am reading those comics, I seem to feel young again, hahahaaah.

    I'll have to take a look and see how they are drawn now. I was never a big fan of comic books except at a certain age...maybe between 9-12.

    Liked Archie, Richie Rich, Brenda Starr, Little Lulu, Little Dot, Scrooge and Baby Huey and others that I can't remember.

    "Now in America, first let's meet Charlie Brown. Charlie been created by Charles M. Schulz in 1947. So I bet now he is in his early seventies a happy old man."
