* In a ''WesternAnimation/{{Garfield|Specials}}'' TV special when the announcer says that a dog can play five instruments at once he grows an extra finger to emphasize this, the fifth finger disappears seconds later.

* The characters on ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'' regularly go back and forth between having four-fingered hands and hands that look like oven mitts, even within an episode. They normally have featureless feet without toes, but Lumpy gained two large, hoof-like toes for one scene in "Every Litter Bit Hurts"...and then he was given three toes for a surfing scene in "Wipe Out".

In a lot of comics and animation, the anatomy of living creatures tends to be simplified in a variety of ways. Some of these are common, such as people not having any discernible lips. Others are more unique to their artists, like how WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls are drawn [[FingerlessHands without any fingers]].

* Characters in ''WebAnimation/BonusStage'' will often be without arms in inaction scenes. Lampshaded at one point:
--> '''Joel''': I wish I had arms for this scene.
--> ''His arms appear from the top of the screen.''
--> '''Joel''': Oh, there they are! ''They descend and attach to his body''

* Jolly from ''Animation/PleasantGoatAndBigBigWolf'' can retract his arms and legs, allowing him to roll since he's an egg, and then extend them back into sight.

* In an episode of ''WebAnimation/BattleForDreamIsland'', Book counts the contestants that have died on the journey to get to Yoyle Mountain on her fingers. She managed to get to eleven, ''all on one hand''.

* In an episode of ''WebAnimation/BattleForDreamIslandAgain'', Book counts the contestants that have died on the journey to get to Yoyle Mountain on her fingers. She managed to get to eleven, all on one hand.

** While Squidward usually wears no pants, being a HalfDressedCartoonAnimal, in "The Lost Mattress", he's able to put a wooden spoon he finds into a pouch of flesh on the small of his back that spontaneously appears to act as a pocket.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989'', as Scuttle asks Ariel "[[DidYouGetANewHaircut new seashells?]]" he [[FreezeFrameBonus for a couple of frames]] sports a full, toothy grin that is otherwise never seen.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Rain}}'', Maria is always drawn without ears (excluding a PrintBonus) until [[https://www.deviantart.com/jocelynsamara/art/RAIN-p721-Needle-571083040 she pulls back her hair]] to reveal multiple earrings. Lampshaded by Rain saying she doesn't think she's ever seen Maria's ears before.

** PlayedForLaughs, in an UncannyValley kind of way, in "Too Many Pinkie Pies" when Pinkie inflates air into one of her front hooves, causing fingers to pop out of it.
