Oh, God, I'm world-building! I'm WORLD-BUILDING!
Well, I dunno... By now, most people have gotten used to those gloves, so I haven't been pestered about it in a while. But what the hell, this is as close to an in-world explanation as I'm going to get. It borders on the realm of the fantastical, which might alarm people who thought talking animals were so down to earth.
I think it's vaguely plausible. It's my damn story and I'm sticking to it.

There's quite the air of authority in your explanation, it's something along the lines of being too outrageous to not accept as truth. Also, now I see that the creatures in your world (and other 4-fingered art-dimensions) would all have to play bass/guitar with a finger less. Strange how I've never realised that until I saw this comic.
Clever.
Personally, I always thought of them as symbionts--independent living creatures that live on the sweat and dead skin cells of the hands.
They can be removed, but had the nasty habit of wandering off, slowly. Besides, they protected the hands nicely, and always seemed to remain clean, probably due to them absorbing any dirt or stains that fell on them.

world-building, when done right, can be an amazing thing. The gloves were always a suspension-of-disbelief thing for me, and it could have come unstuck the way the first Hulk movie comes unstuck by trying to fake up a plausible explanation for Bruce Banner's condition instead of just going "oh radiation did it" and moving on. However (brace yourselves, we're coming to the point) I think it works out fine here because the explanation itself requires a certain amount of suspension of disbelief
I'm reminded of Robin Williams' monologue about taking a kid to see 'Mickey Mouse' at Disneyland for the first time. "Mickey Mouse to a five-year-old is a six-foot-tall f***ing rat!" says Williams - who then imitates the animated icon. "Hi, little boy... I have three fingers on each hand!" To which the kid freaks out, and holds his fingers like a Catholic cross in front of the costumed rodent!
