Funny Animal characters tend not to wear shoes. This is arguably even more common than their tendency not to wear pants. The curious thing, though, is that in any setting where fully dressed, but barefoot or half-dressed cartoon animals are the norm, there will usually be one character who subverts this by wearing shoes, socks, or booties of some kind. Often this is a sign of the character's "otherness" among the cast, or employed to emphasize a character's femininity. Sometimes, this is inverted by having footwear-wearing be the status quo and being barefoot be an exception.
