In the episode Hurricane Neddy how the hell did Dr Foster manage to change his clothes if he was spanking Ned Flanders as a child for eight months non-stop? He starts and ends it with his doctor's outfit on and in other scenes throughout the spanking sequence he has a jumper on for winter and even dresses as Santa.

    It is a cartoon. If you are asking questions about that scene, shouldn't you first ask how a child survived being spanked for 8 months permanently?

    Or why social services haven't stepped in.

    And why is noone investigating the jaundice?

    I've often lay awake at night pondering over this very conundrum.

    How does Peter Griffin afford all the crazy things he does in his cutaways? I remember him calling in favours from people he'd never met and paying £400,000 for the Statue of Liberty's left foot as a wedding present for Quagmire. Don't even mention the underground base where he stores his porn.

    I just can't figure out how he manages it.

    On the same note if Wile E Coyote is starving to death as is often shown why not just buy food he must be a millionaire with all the Acme stuff he buys everyday.

    I have a strong feeling it has something to do with the creator Matt Groening, sadly he's dead now so we'll never know.

    I know the answer.......because it's a cartoon, they don't have to make any sense. They have had about 4 summer holidays in the Simpsons and Bart and Lisa still haven't gone up a grade in school :p

    Well, the show has been going for over a quarter of a century and none of the characters have aged at all. :D

    How on earth does Brian talk in Family Guy?

    Canines to not have the required anatomy for such a complex linguistic feat.

    I have lost endless nights of sleep due to this perplexing conundrum.
