They all live together in the forest. They’re all naked, always. So why are they in shock? Even if Bambi’s demonstrating why he’s the Great Prince of the Forest (am I going to have to move this to the Arlo Page?)
And why do they need lockers? Do the animals wear workout clothing at the gym, for the same reason the normally bare-assed Donald Duck wears swim trunks at the beach?
Okay, just for the heck of it…
Comics I Don't Understand 
“Buck naked” and he’s a naked buck. The rest is filler.
Oh, deer!
I think there is a difference between “I don’t understand this” and “this doesn’t make any sense if you think about it” and “this isn’t consistent therefore it shouldn’t be a joke”. This clearly qualifies for the last two (as well as ‘that’s just dumb; no-one should find it funny”) but I highly doubt you actually don’t understand it.
If you actually don’t, there’s B.A.s comment.
Certain parts are somewhat more visible on a deer than on a rabbit or a skunk, but Flower and Thumper ought to have noticed that a long time ago.
De gustibus and all that: I laughed at this one. Agreed it’s dumb, makes no sense if you think about it, Flower and Thumper should have noticed long ago (and not cared), etc…but I still laughed. Appealed to my absurdist streak, I guess.
Works for me as a dumb joke. Far Side had a bunch of gorillas in a locker room and one thinking “Wow! He’s already a silverback!”
I think it would have been better if Faline had been nearby and the words had been said by her instead.
Surely if animals can stand on two legs and speak English, they can use a shower and locker if they wish.
:-P
Of course they already see him without clothes — that’s why he says what he says.
If he’s on all fours you don’t have to look at it, but if he stands up and faces you, well, there it is.
Kudos to the artist for not saying “butt naked.”

Why would he say “butt naked”? That wouldn’t be a pun.
Well, he’d have to change it from Bambi to Beavis and Butt-head; and then we’d have to wonder about Butt-head claiming Beavis has seen it all the time…
“Why would he say “butt naked”? That wouldn’t be a pun.”
I’m surprised you haven’t heard any young’uns on the internets say “butt naked” yet. It’s happening more and more these days, and I’m glad the artist knows better.
I’ve heard “butt naked” frequently and I’d consider correct as I’ve also heard “ass naked” (although “bare ass naked” is more common.) But Bambi isn’t a butt. He’s a buck. So unless it were switched to something butt related (as larK) suggests, it wouldn’t be a pun.
