Technically, Pepper Ann might be frozen in time, forever too cool for 7th grade. But illustrator Celeste Pille likes to think Pepper Ann and her One Saturday Morning crew eventually graduated, moving on to bigger things and better clothes. Her drawings look into the futures of the characters who starred in cartoon favorites like Hey Arnold, Recess, The Magic School Bus and Rugrats.
Pille's Tumblr also explores the adult lives of the American Girl dolls (apparently Molly moved past her awkward phase) and even envisions a humanized and very fashionable version of Oblina from Aaahh!!! Real Monsters.
Umm, when did Chuckie from Rugrats get so buff?
