They're cartoon anthros. I'm pretty sure mobian social standards are very different from human social standards. clothing is simply an optional fashion to males.

As for why female mobians wear clothes, my guess it's one of those gender based things, for Sally Acorn it wasn't even a neccessity until Sega eventually gave a damn and had the whole comics reset.

I'm pretty sure we had this discussion on the forums before.
