The worlds of cartoon animals have different rules for clothes.
One might not wear a stitch if nothing controversial shows.
Perhaps the species differ in how much they have to wear.
For instance, snakes will typically go nude without a care.
In some works, critters settle for what we would call half-dressed.
They might wear just one article of clothing, like a vest.
The females often cover more, for reasons I won't say
But you can guess, as double standards still exist today.
Old-fashioned toons wear gloves to help gloss over dext'rous fingers.
We hardly feel the need now, but for some, the practice lingers.
The least-worn clothes are footwear; I suspect it's so we see
Reminders of their species at each end (a fur feng shui?).
Societies might not enshrine their dress code in the law,
But if one disregards it, folks may point and say, "Haw-haw!"
Some artists keep it simple with the customs of their land.
If you draw anthros, choose whichever system fits your brand.
