November 24, 1918 is when it premiered. In 2018, the GA characters will be…Walt: 120, Skeezix: 97, Corky: 90Judy: 83 Chipper: 73, Clovia: 69, Nubbin: 64, Adam and Eve: 58, Gabriel: 52, Gretchen: 40, Rover: 39-41, based on his appearance at his introduction in 1980, Ada: 29Gus and Elly: 26 (they just turned 25 at Christmas), Boog: 14. 100 years 9/4/2018.
My understanding is that the “real time” only started when Skeezix was left on Walt’s doorstep on February 14, 1921, and that Walt’s birth year was later established as 1899, making him currently 119 years old.
According to documents recognized by Indonesian officials, Mbah Gotho from Sragen, Java, was born on December 31, 1870—-making him 145 years old on Dec. 31,2016.
