Dr. Teeth's parents likewise don't seem old enough to have a son who's been a musician for 50 years -- when one considers the timeline, they're intending to retire and leave their business to a son who is himself well past retirement age. The characters look younger when seen in flashbacks to the 1960s, but have apparently not changed a bit since '72. Preventing this from being too implausible is the fact that, out-of-universe, Zoot has been portrayed by Dave Goelz for that entire 50-year span.
