In real life logic, yes. But in cartoon logic, not necessarily. The same has happened with the cartoon "The Simpons". Lisa would be close to 30 by now, but nope, in the latest episodes she's still eight. Another is "Arthur", which debuted in '96 I believe. Arthur is eight when it debuted, and new episodes are still being made today so he'd really be 22, but nope. He and his friends are still eight. In fact, I think most cartoons don't really age their characters other than a few episodes where a birthday is mentioned. It's just cartoon logic. It can be hard to get use to, but as long as you don't obsess over it and analyze things too much, we can live with it.
Hmm, I just realized eight is a popular age for cartoon kids, too.
