Actually, if you take into account that Marge is Age 34 in Season 1 (and Homer subsequently implying Marge is the same as his age, so around 36-40 in latter Seasons) , Bart theoretically should be in his 30's if age was let to progress "naturally."
HiFranc:
From the seasons I calculated that Dora and Marten were together for about 15-18 months. From memory:
First kiss happened at the end of winter/start spring (it was still cold)
Happies happned throughout summer
They went drunk sledging that winter (Will was on his quest then)
We see them through sping and the break up happened at the height of summer
Furthermore:
In the first 500 strips, there were strong hints (e.g. when Faye spent a day with Dora) that it was the previous summer. Nobody seemed to mind the cold.
I haven't been keeping track of the seasons since the breakup. I only looked at them because there were arguments here about how long they'd been dating.
AprilArcus:
I've been doing a lot of work on the wiki's timeline article lately. It is currently the very end of summer, about fifteen weeks since Tai's end-of-semester party. This will (barely) fit into Smith College's real-life academic calendar (the last three weeks of May plus the 13 weeks of summer), provided that the students all start classes within like, the next hundred strips. Soon the the brilliant New England autumn will be upon us! Claire, Emily, Cosette and Raven (what happened to Raven?) will be nose-deep in their studies, and everyone will pull on their warm jackets.
Here's how it worked out in the spreadsheet:

If you were Bart's age when the first season aired, you're close to if not exactly Homer and Marge's age now.
HiFranc:
Thank you for calculating it all, April.
