Missing Digits

Why do cartoon characters never have five fingers? I'm sure I'm not the first to notice this. Does anyone have an answer? Look at this wide array of characters I've sampled. They all have 4 fingers. Are 5 really that hard to draw? I'm baffled.

Very scary, because I don't know what it is about your blog, but I feel like I could have written some of your posts. Freaky! Maybe it's something we each picked up in Skyline Chili.

Feel free to expand on this 4 finger phenomenon.

I think it's a copy write issue, either that or cartoonist are hoping we'll all manage to finger-it-out one day.
