Those three in the second to last panel are all real too.  Elephants and apes can be taught to hold a brush and Spike the Beetle was a little cutie who held brushes in his jaw.

Part of me wants to be upset I only got one page all the way finished again but naw, it’s cool.  Needed to take care of something at work which used up my day off for drawing.  Also this page took longer than expected which is cool because the page is cool.  And you’re all cool too because you drop by to read what I love to write.  And there will be more again next week!
