With a baby on the way, I’ve been re-connecting with all my childhood cartoon characters. My wife seems to have a particular love for Winnie the Pooh.

So, I’m looking at all these delightful, whimsical characters and wondering… what gives with cartoon characters wearing shirts… but no pants? Not that I’m a big fan of wearing pants… but this is very confusing.

Can you imagine if a bald guy with no pants looked at you this way?
