''Franchise/LiloAndStitch'' has three extremely short and stumpy lower appendages that could be called legs in the same way a table's can, and doesn't wear anything over them. Even when he's DisguisedInDrag, whatever skirt or dress he has on isn't long enough to reach past what passes for a waist.

* Possibly subverted in ''Literature/{{Redwall}}''; on one occasion the BigBad Badrang cuts a random minion's belt when he finds himself in need of a piece of cord, and [[NakedPeopleAreFunny everyone sniggers when said minion's kilt drops off]]. On two occasions, prisoners have suffered a ShamefulStrip, which presumably wouldn't matter if they didn't consider clothing important in some way. In contrast, the cartoon show followed this trope; as well as most of the characters only wearing shirts, it showed Skalrag wearing variously only a cloak or nothing at all, and unusually depicted the female character Trefoil with an unclothed lower half as well.
* In the ''Little Critter'' book series written and illustrated by Mercer Mayer, Little Critter can be seen wearing a shirt but no pants in the book ''When I Get Bigger'', In the book ''I Just Forgot'' Little Critter can be seen wearing a rain coat but not only forgets to wear his boots, he forgets to wear his pants. Also in ''The New Potty'' Little Sister takes off her diaper in order to go potty. Also in the book ''I Was So Mad'' Little Critters animal friends who are playing baseball can be seen wearing shirts but no pants or shoes. Now days in the recent Little Critter books, Little Critter wears overalls and isn't seen half dressed or undressed anymore.
* In ''Literature/TheMuddleHeadedWombat'', Wombat's usual outfit is a battered old straw hat and an overcoat with nothing beneath it. (The supporting cast are {{Accessory Wearing Cartoon Animal}}s.)
* In the chapter-heading illustrations of Garry Kilworth's ''Literature/WelkinWeasels'' series, Montegu Sylver appears fully clothed including shoes, though he is apparently wearing nothing but a cloak on the cover illustration and is described in the text as not needing anything more than a cloak since he has fur. Scruff and Maudlin wear only jackets and hats. Bryony Bludd wears a full skirt which would not look out of place in the Victorian era the books are based on except for the fact that she is apparently topless except for a very large neck-bow. Mayor Jeremy Poynt fits the "jacket and hat" rule, with the addition of spats - but no shoes.
* ''Literature/KoziolekMatolek'', from the Polish children's book series of the same name, is a shirtless, anthropomorphic goat.
* Creator/JohnVarley does this with an eight year old boy for the [[ShowWithinAShow show-in-the-book]] in Literature/TheGoldenGlobe
-->'''John Valentine''': Interesting. But what about the pants?
-->'''Gideon Peppy''': Donald Duck never wore pants.
-->'''John Valentine''': Yes. And Donald Duck was a cartoon, a water fowl, and imaginary. And, apparently, sexless. You should bear in mind that my son is a real little boy.
** Sparky gets a female sidekick with basically the same dress
** And they “[[DigitalBikini morph some britches on ’em]]” for the “Planet of the Prudes”, Vesta.
* In both ''Literature/TheTaleOfPeterRabbit'' and ''Literature/TheTaleOfBenjaminBunny'' has Peter Rabbit and his cousin Benjamin Bunny wearing only jackets and shoes but no pants.
* ''Literature/DestinedToLead'': Resurge is this for most of book one, and continues to be even after coming into possession of a chripl-skin vest.
* In ''Literature/HowToBeComfortableInYourOwnFeathers'', the Bird Doc wears a LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine, but nothing else.
* ''Literature/ABedOfYourOwn'': The horse wears a shirt and nothing else as his sleepwear.
* ''Literature/TheTailorOfGloucester'': The first buck mouse to be seen wears only a fancy coat.
* ''Literature/TheTaleOfBenjaminBunny'': Benjamin, Peter, and Benjamin Sr. wear no pants.
* ''Literature/TheTaleOfMrJeremyFisher'': Jeremy wears coats and shirts, but no pants. This comes in useful when the trout spits him out due to not liking the taste of his clothes.

* Alien Gordon Shumway from ''Series/{{ALF}}'' wore shirts on occasion. He's usually not shown from the waist down, but this trope is considered plausible based on his wardrobe in the animated series of the same name.
* ''Series/AntsInYourPants'': TheProtagonist of the series, Lickety Split, only ever wore a pair of overalls.
* [[Series/BarneyAndFriends Barney the Dinosaur]] is occasionally portrayed like this.
* Creator/{{CBBC}} mascot Gordon T. Gopher wore [[http://www.doopydoos.com/ekmps/shops/filmfreaks/images/lot19_001.jpg a t-shirt and trainers]]. His successor Edd the Duck usually wore a jumper that was [[https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/31/2b/ee/312bee6c90477d54e4f854f14a05b899.jpg long enough to cover his bottom half]], with just his feet sticking out.
* The male animatronic characters in ''{{Series/Dinosaurs}}'' didn't wear pants. Females wore dresses sometimes, but if they were dressed as if they would wear pants they went bottomless too. This was pointed out one episode in which they showed Earl wearing a pair of pants because of censorship happening all over the show. This was lampshaded, during the VerySpecialEpisode no less, when Robbie, while high on "happy plant", collapsed in a fit of hilarity upon realizing that none of them wore pants.
* Who can forget Humphrey B. Bear? The strange thing about any discussion involving him, of course is that people point out his lack of pants. Never mind that he's a bear wearing a (rather stylish) boater and waistcoat - which it has to be said, is not something bears are known for. Oh no. A bear not wearing pants? Disgraceful!
* Daniel Striped Tiger on ''Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood'' usually wears a wristwatch and nothing else.
* Franchise/TheMuppets: Rizzo the Rat wears a jacket and hat but no pants, as does Pepe the Prawn. Of course, neither of them are never seen from the waist down, so it's usually a moot point.
* ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' once addressed this phenomenon during a '50s educational short in which a Porky Pig figurine could be briefly glimpsed atop a desk. Tom Servo: "Get Porky some pants!"
* The three adult animals in ''Series/OdiseaBurbujas'' Patas Verdes (a toad), Mafafa (a lizard) and Pistachón (a bee). Patas Verdes and Pistachón wear no pants at all, but they do have hats and clothes over the waists. Mafafa wears a dress as she's the [[TheSmurfettePrinciple only female]], but nothing else.
* Jiminy Cricket only wears a top in ''Series/OnceUponATime''.
* Referenced in the "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfPdYYsEfAE Close Encounter]]" sketch on ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' in which Creator/KateMcKinnon's red neck character describes herself, after her pants have been removed by the aliens, as "Porky Pigging it."

* If you go to an AMC/Cinemark/Regal (most of the United States) movie theater, you will see a campaign backed by Sprint [[NoTalkingOrPhonesWarning reminding people to turn off their phones]], with the tagline "It takes a lot of phone calls to make a movie. And only one to ruin it." In one particular ad in this campaign, the topic of the calls between the moviemakers and the creators is whether a cartoon hedgehog should be wearing pants. The aforementioned "only one to ruin it" moment comes when the animators, [[WriterRevolt fed up with the time consuming project and senseless bickering]], put pants on the hedgehog...and ''leave the fly down''.
* The Waffle Wiffer, the 1960s Aunt Jemima frozen waffles mascot, sported a red turtleneck sweater and boots.
* Sonny the Cuckoo Bird for Cocoa Puffs cereal had a striped sweatshirt.
* Chip the Cookie Dog for Cookie Crisp cereal sported a turtleneck and burglar mask.
* Sydney the Dunkaroos kangaroo had a safari hat, T-shirt and vest.
* Fruit Brute the werewolf from the UsefulNotes/GeneralMills [[Advertising/MonsterCereals Monster Cereal]] line had multicolor striped overalls. Some iterations [[BarefootCartoonAnimal added a blue or white t-shirt underneath them]].
* Sugar Bear of Golden Crisp cereal has a sky blue T-shirt. He initially had a green sweater in the late 1960s.
* Buzz the Honey Bee for Honey Nut Cheerios has a yellow and gold T-shirt and white shoes.
* Dig 'Em the Frog from Honey Smacks cereal has a baseball cap, T-shirt and sneakers.
* Charlie Chickenhawk, one of two mascots for UsefulNotes/KentuckyFriedChicken in Australia during the 1980s, only wears a Confederate hat and pants with suspenders.
* A 2010 ad campaign for Kia Motors features rapping, half-dressed hamsters.
* B.J. Penguin, one half of the original mascot duo of Kid Cuisine frozen foods, sported a Hawaiian shirt and a pair of red hi-tops. His friend, The Chef, however, was a [[FullyDressedCartoonAnimal fully dressed]] polar bear in a white chef's costume and hat. The current mascot, K.C. Penguin, wears red hi-tops as his regular wardrobe, making him an AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal.
* Rory Raccoon of Post's [[http://www.mrbreakfast.com/cereal_detail.asp?id=361 Sugar Sparkled Flakes]] had a Sherlock hat (alternatively, a police hat with a "guard" badge), bowtie and sport coat.
* The Advertising/TrixRabbit's array of disguises usually applies to this trope.
* Smokey Bear and Woodsy Owl of the United States Forest Service were both shirtless forest mascots. Smokey has his signature ranger's hat and blue jeans, while Woodsy started out with his matching green hat and pants. Woodsy later [[FullyDressedCartoonAnimal added a white shirt and loafers]] to his ensemble.
* In a Raid commercial, an ant with a news microphone wears a vest.
* A late 1990s Creator/CartoonNetwork bumper features WesternAnimation/HuckleberryHound, WesternAnimation/QuickDrawMcGraw, [[WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones Fred Flintstone]], and [[WesternAnimation/IAmWeasel I.M. Weasel]] being denied service at a shop due to its "No shirt, no shoes" policy. To get service, they resort to dressing Quick Draw in Fred's tunic, but the horse is still denied for not wearing pants.
* While the Advertising/EnergizerBunny is normally an AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal, he has dipped into this territory a few times since [[ShiftedToCGi the transition to CGi]] by wearing a sweater for a holiday commercial and a football shirt for a commercial where he partakes in a virtual football game.

Male youths and some of the ground-dwelling animals in ''ComicBook/TheAutumnlandsToothAndClaw'' eschew shirts.

Skalman walks around naked half the time too, since his only article of clothing is a hat, and Makko all wear shirts he generally only wears it outdoors.
* This trope is mocked in ''ComicBook/TheBeano'' Annual 2009 when the Nibblers (an old 1970s strip about a group of mice) meet the Ratz (a 2000s strip about a group of rats).
* Two of the main Bone characters in ''ComicBook/{{Bone}}'' are usually half dressed: Phoney wears a t-shirt with a star, and Smiley wears a vest (yet is embarrassed to be seen naked). It is unclear on what exactly the Bones are,
but no they have been referred to as "small mammals" several times by the rat people.

* ComicBook/FritzTheCat only wears a red turtleneck.

pants.

*** A story in the HTD black and white magazine contained
a LampshadeHanging with a twist of TakeThat, as a failed animator turned haberdasher forces Howard to start wearing pants. The guy let him keep his [[InterspeciesRomance human who wakes up girlfriend]], though.
*** Lampshaded by Howard at least once. "My lawyers tell me I have always been wearing these pants."
** There was an earlier story where Howard's enemy Doctor Bong transformed Howard into a human. The funniest part was seeing Howard brooding while sitting on a bed, his bare human butt clearly visible and his coat coming down to mid-rib level.
** Interestingly,
in Equestria in King Sombra's body. He comments on how he Marvel Zombies Vs. Evil Dead, if you didn't know better you'd ''swear'' someone took the pupils out of WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck's eyes. The Zombie Howard has an awesome armor white feathers (as opposed to yellow) and cape, wasn't wearing pants.
*** Speaking of ''ComicBook/MarvelZombies'', it appears "My lawyers tell me I've ''always'' worn pants" is a RunningGag these days - he gives the line to Jackie when she questions his existence in ''Marvel Zombies 5''.
* Evolved over the course of ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics''. Early on, most characters wore partial clothing ranging from nearly fully dressed (Antoine only lacks pants) to nothing
but shoes (Sonic, of course). Over time, more characters were added and often featured with more complete outfits. Following the 2013 continuity reboot, many characters are starting to shift towards the current Sega look with females donning full sets of clothing and males with gloves and shoes with a few extra pieces to set them apart.
* In comics and picture books based on ''Series/TheSootyShow'', Sooty usually wears red shorts with braces. (He doesn't in the show itself.)
* Olivier Bommel in ''ComicBook/TomPoes'' wears nothing but a coat,
no pants.

* In one strip of ''ComicStrip/RedAndRover'', Red put a sweater on his dog Rover, who walks and acts like a regular dog. Rover looked down at his unclothed back half and mused that he felt more naked with the sweater on than with it off.
* ''ComicStrip/OverTheHedge'' plays with this trope. Verne's shell does act as clothes for him, leaving him without it either naked to be confronted by the Publishers Clearing House Prize Patrol or to take part in a limbo contest (for example), or with tighty-whitey briefs. That does not, however, preclude his wearing clothes over it, usually full suits that include pants, shirt, and shoes. RJ's fur is more of an all-purpose covering, although he also wears clothes over it, most notably a parka when preparing for winter and a pair of undies and a robe when getting ready for a ''nude scene''.

* Dutch newspaper comic ''Fokke & Sukke'' cranks this up to eleven by not only having both Fokke (a humanoid duck) and Sukke (a humanoid canary) walk around with no pants, but also explicitly showing [[http://www.zone5300.nl/images/296.gif their (human) penises]], with which they are [[http://lambiek.net/aanvang/artefacts/1990_krantestrips/fokkesukke.gif very preoccupied]]. In case they do wear pants, they will have [[http://strips.a20.net/2006.04.02/Fokke%20en%20Sukke-2006.04.02.gif holes to accommodate their genitalia]]. Obviously, given their names (which are real Dutch names), lampshaded ''very'' often.
* ComicStrip/{{Heathcliff}} is normally entirely nude, like any housecat, but in one comic he disguises himself as a professor. ''Blog/TheComicsCurmudgeon'' mentions [[http://joshreads.com/?p=16783all the strange things about the comic in question]] and the post is titled "Also, I know several professors, and they rarely go naked from the waist down in public."
* ''ComicStrip/PugadBaboy'' has this with Polgas, the talking dog protagonist, who sometimes goes around with just a t-shirt. (In his other guises, such as his secret agent alter ego Dobermaxx, he may wear full clothing though, and more recently he also has shorts on.)
* The eponymous stuffed tiger of ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'' normally doesn't wear clothing at all, but in [[http://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1986/01/23 one strip]], he dresses up in an attempt to go to school in Calvin's place.

These examples include Pop, Mime, Flippy, Lammy, and The Mole. Cro-Marmot and Cub wear pants instead, though being a caveman and infant respectively, it's somewhat justified.

** At the beginning of the film, a young pantsless goat is told by a teacher that he is “not Donald Duck”, so should put some pants on.
** Later, when Sweet Pete is holding Chip hostage:
--->'''Chip:''' Where’s Dale?\\
'''Sweet Pete:''' He’ll be here. Keep your pants on.\\
'''Chip:''' I don’t wear pants.\\
'''Sweet Pete:''' Yeah, I noticed. It’s not something to brag about.
** A CGI snake named DJ Herzogenaurach, wears only a black gangster beanie and a white shirt with a blue mark on it, but no pants, but considering that he is a snake and snakes don't have limbs. So a hat and a shirt was the only thing DJ Herzogenaurach could wear.

** Bernard the mouse from ''WesternAnimation/TheRescuers''. Miss Bianca is either an example of this trope or an AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal. Jake in [[WesternAnimation/TheRescuersDownUnder the sequel]] wears a [[NiceHat slouch hat]] and a shirt, but no pants or shoes (possibly justified as being a kangaroo mouse, he has big feet).

* In 1959, there was actually a group called the ''Society for Indecency to Naked Animals'' or SINA, a hoax perpetrated by comedian Alan Abel until 1962. Buck Henry played its president, G. Clifford Prout, while Abel played the vice president, and its goal was to clothe all animals. One of its mottos was "A nude horse is a rude horse." Apparently, lots of people fell for it and tried to donate money for the cause.
* Many college mascots are animals clad only in a sweater bearing the school's initials. Likewise, a good chunk of UsefulNotes/{{fur|ryFandom}}suiters either wear a shirt or shorts/pants. Sometimes the article of clothing ''is'' part of the costume, as in the costumer never bothered to make legs or a complete torso for it (both to keep costs down and make it less hot to wear), letting the clothing hide this fact.
* In at least one case, Winnie the Pooh's half-clothed nature was considered SeriousBusiness when a conservative Polish council [[http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/news/winnie-the-pooh-banned-from-polish-playground-for-being-an-inappropriate-hermaphrodite-9872278.html opted to exclude him from a playground on that basis]].

** Roquefort the mouse from ''WesternAnimation/TheAristocats'' is usually naked, but is occasionally seen wearing a hat and coat at times.
** The Beast from ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'' actually starts out as one, wearing only a tattered set of pants and a long, dark red cape. When he starts to become more polite, he becomes a BarefootCartoonAnimal.
** Abby Mallard from ''WesternAnimation/ChickenLittle'', which was somewhat strange considering that the majority of the rest of the cast either wore full costumes or nothing at all (with the possible exception of Fish Out Of Water, but his helmet was for breathing, not really for fashion).
