History Analysis / HalfDressedCartoonAnimal

* '''Rarity among {{Beast M|an}}en:''' Few {{Beast M|an}}en appear half dressed, whether shirtless or pantless. Half-dressed {{Beast M|an}}en are less common than half-dressed {{Civilized Animal}}s and Funny Animals because {{Beast M|an}}en are more human than they are animal and the censors will tend to intervene, [[NippleAndDimed especially if they're female]]. Shirtless male {{Beast M|an}}en are more common than the shirtless female and both genders of the pantsless variants because shirtless men aren't taboo like the other two variants. Furthermore, {{Beast M|an}}en ''dress'' [[FullyDressedCartoonAnimal like humans]] as a shorthand way to say that unlike FunnyAnimal which is a metaphor for humans and social commentary, {{Beast M|an}}en are humans, except they're not (they're usually found in settings where humans can't exist and thus can't be used, such as AfterTheEnd or ALongTimeAgoInAGalaxyFarFarAway). While some authors will try to justify a nude BeastMan by giving the character puffier fur (Or feathers if they are a bird) around their pelvic area or by being slightly more anatomically correct (Reptiles and amphibians), they can still fall under the UncannyValley because the audience will notice that [[NonHumansLackAttributes something is missing]].

* '''Pantsless male {{Funny Animal}}s:''' Much of character recognition in animation is based on silhouette. In twentieth century western culture, it was customary for men and boys to wear trousers. The legs of a bipedal critter, except the legs of many bird characters, already have a silhouette not unlike trousers; compare LongPants. Adding an untucked shirt to the silhouette results in pantsless appearance once the backlight is turned off. Examples include DonaldDuck, [[WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}} Wakko Warner]], Franchise/WinnieThePooh, and [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Porky Pig]].

* '''Pantless normal and {{Talking Animal}}s:''' More common than shirtless or fully dressed normal animals, {{Nearly Normal Animal}}s, {{Talking Animal}}s, and {{Partially Civilized Animal}}s as shirts, jackets, and sweaters without pants allow animals to "do their business" without soiling themselves. One example is Abu the monkey from ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}''.

* '''Rarity of bare-bottomed female Funny Animals:''' Again, a skirt is used as a tertiary sexual characteristic. Otherwise, you may need to add a [[HairDecorations hair]] [[AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal dec]]. Notice [[WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts Daisy Duck's]] huge bow. The most common examples bare-bottomed or pantless female animals are birds, but a few are mammals. [[Franchise/DonkeyKong Dixie Kong]] and [[WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck Gosalyn]] are two other such examples.

Shirtless male {{Beast M|an}}en are more common than the shirtless female and both genders of the pantsless variants because shirtless men aren't taboo like the other two variants.

* '''Shirtless male {{Funny Animal}}s:''' Sometimes, an male animal character will wear pants, shorts, or overalls, but adding a shirt would push the character too close to the PettingZooPeople tier, so they go shirtless. Sometimes done for {{Fanservice}}, compare WalkingShirtlessScene. Examples include WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse, WesternAnimation/MagillaGorilla, [[WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}} Yakko Warner]], and WesternAnimation/OswaldTheLuckyRabbit.
* '''Shirtless female {{Funny Animal}}s:''' In twentieth century western culture, a skirt, whether with underwear or not, was a [[TertiarySexualCharacteristics tertiary sexual characteristic]] that was used as an easily silhouettable shorthand way to say that a character will fill some approximation of a feminine gender role. They can go shirtless because they lack a certain [[NonMammalMammaries secondary]] sexual characteristic. Like with shirtless male animal characters, adding a shirt would push the character too close to the PettingZooPeople tier. Rarely do half-dressed female animals wear pants, shorts, or overalls without a shirt. Examples include [[VideoGame/EpicMickey Ortensia]], [[WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}} Dot Warner]], [[WesternAnimation/YogiBear Cindy Bear]], and sometimes WesternAnimation/MinnieMouse, as well as the 1999 version of [[WesternAnimation/WoodyWoodpecker Winnie Woodpecker]].

* '''Rarity among PettingZooPeople:''' Few Petting Zoo People appear half dressed, whether shirtless (like [[WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}} were-form Wilford B. Wolf]] and Amy) or pantless (like [[VideoGame/SlyCooper Sly Cooper]] and [[WebComic/SabrinaOnline Sabrina]]). Half-dressed Petting Zoo People are less common than half-dressed {{Civilized Animal}}s and Funny Animals because Petting Zoo People are generally taller (in heads) and look more anthropomorphic than Funny Animals. That means they have room for more clothing. Furthermore, Petting Zoo People ''dress'' [[FullyDressedCartoonAnimal like humans]] as a shorthand way to say that Petting Zoo People ''think and act'' like humans. Shirtless female Petting Zoo People are rare because they are anthropomorphic enough for NippleAndDimed to take effect. While some authors will try to justify a nude PZP by giving the character [[FurIsClothing puffier fur (Or feathers if they are a bird) around their pelvis area]] or by being slightly more anatomically correct (Reptiles and amphibians), they can still fall under the UncannyValley because the audience will notice that [[NonHumansLackAttributes something is missing]].

* '''Rarity of pantless or bare-bottomed, shoe-wearing Funny Animals:''' Shoe-wearing pantsless or bare-bottomed cartoon animals as there are shoe-wearing shirtless cartoon animals because being shirtless with shoes on is more accepted than being pantsless with shoes on in the case of humans and most half dressed cartoon animals are barefoot anyway. Daisy Duck and [[WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck Gosalyn]] are two female examples and [[VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay Conker]], [[WesternAnimation/DanielTigersNeighborhood Daniel Tiger]], and [[Characters/TinyToonAdventures Fowlmouth]] are three male examples.
