Como Zoo - Sparky the Sea Lion

Sigh... I'm completely unhappy with this sketch of Sparky the Sea Lion and his handler, but I guess they can't all be winners, right? Or for that matter, they can't all even be average.

Sparky is a Como Zoo fixture and recently celebrated a 50 year anniversary. Of course, since sea lions typically only live to be about twenty years old, there have been several Sparkys. I'm sure I'm wrong on this, as I'm recalling from the last Sparky show I saw with the kids, but I think the current Sparky is the seventh and also, a lady sea lion.
