Is it just me, or does the bottom figure look like a human bending over?

That really looks like someone got him started with the right character, and then shoved a brush in his mouth for a photo op. I need video.

Safe for work but it is a song, so turn your monitor down

He does include that song in his repertoire, it's his signature song in fact. However, he tends to sing it less falsetto; more bluesy. He's a very deep and soulful sea lion.

Has anyone ever considered that he might have the intelligence to be taught to paint specific characters? I mean they say a dog is equivalent to a seven year old, and seven year olds aren't dumb, so a seal is probably trainable. (I don't believe for a minute that he can read it.) But I suspect the lack of an opposable thumb (or flipper bone) is the major obstacle to demonstrating intelligence.

I can't get past this. Sure, dogs are smart, and are trainable and all. But my daughter is seven right now, and I'm absolutely amazed at everything she already knows. There's just no comparison between a dog and a 7 year old human. And I like dogs.
