- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Could be, I've honestly never given it much thought, it's just what I tend to be most comfortable wearing. I wore shorts growing up and through my time in the military, but after that, I kinda just... Stopped? I am definitely a creature of habit, so probably subconsciously it's a consistency thing for me.
I'm also pretty skinny, so I get cold easily and prefer the warmth that long pants provide regardless of weather, and the protection they offer from nature and the elements (hence why I wore them year round at the Post Office). But fabric doesn't matter to me, or brand or any of that, just that they're the proper length.
For shoes, I just don't like having my feet out in the world, and don't like how loose sandals/flip flops feel while wearing them. I also don't like how the interior of shoes feel against bare feet, hence why socks and shoes go hand in hand (no boat shoes for me). Now that I'm typing that out, I just don't like my bare feet touching anything, really, like, I'm one of those people who wears socks in their own home constantly except when I'm sleeping.
It does simplify dressing myself, since I know it's always gonna be socks+jeans/pants+T-shirt/long sleeve/hoodie. I've also had to wear long pants at every job I've ever had (minus the Post Office), so at some point it may have just set in that it's easier to just wear pants regardless of what I'm doing. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
its funny how relatable your logic is even though your preferences are practically perfect opposites.
I wear sandals and shorts whenever I can, and ideally i switch to pants/shoes and back just once per year :') And I love to have my feet exposed (even within the house, I do have flipflops though)
