Of course "Princess TamTam" sounds suspiciously like a cartoon princess anyway...

Three fingers is fine as long as they're big enough. The male character in 'Rock and Rule' you posted above looks like an accident victim or amputee.

All this could have been avoided by using the word 'digits'

Three fingers bad. I mean it doesn't always bother me as a reader but in my own work it's gotta be four.

I drew cartoons with three fingers until I hit puberty and I decided four was the way to go. *growing up*

I've also learned come people think of the thumb as a 'finger'
― Word of Wisdom Robots (Abbbottt), Monday, 11 June 2012 00:20 (eleven years ago) link
come people
I call the thumb a finger because of a trivial pursuit question over 20 years ago. Just because it's short and squat and single-jointed and opposable, why discriminate? Thumbists.

Wouldn't it be weird to have a thumb that was exactly like a finger?
― George Peppard Steak (snoball), Monday, 11 June 2012 13:29 (eleven years ago) link
imo, three fingers + one thumb is embedded deep in cartoon DNA, whereas four fingers and a thumb should be considered mutant and freakish anywhere outside of Prince Valiant or Mary Worth and other strips of their ilk.
