Why Do Cartoons Have Four Fingers The Reasons Will Surprise You Kidadl We’re drawing 4 fingered cartoon hands on my channel level up cartooning, which begs the question, why do so many cartoon characters have four finger. The most popular explanation for why cartoon characters only have four fingers is all about the animation process, as drawing only four fingers instead of five is a lot easier and thus saves the animators and the studio time and money. this was especially important when cartoons were hand drawn, but even now with technology on their side. The style is nearly as old as animation itself. many early cartoon characters, like mickey mouse and felix the cat, had four fingers for aesthetic reasons. animators used circles when sketching. First of all, the number four is ooky spooky in japan the same way the number 13 is here, because it sounds close to the word for “death.”. secondly, in the weirdest way possible, it makes an unsavory link between cartoons and the yakuza. the removal of some or all of the pinky finger is a traditional yakuza punishment known as yubitsume.
