Not hanging upside down for once but sitting squarely on the toilet, a bat unfolds its newspaper with the gravity of a banker reviewing the morning headlines. The sheer absurdity lands straight away and puts you at ease: here is the creature of the night caught in the most ordinary of human routines. It is hard to guess what could possibly hold its attention in the day's pages, and that little mystery is half the fun.

This deadpan nocturnal character is part of our gallery of animals caught in thoroughly human moments, waiting for you in the Animal Portraits collection. It settles happily onto the wall of a toilet or bathroom, the kind of room where a touch of the unexpected always earns its keep. Against a pale wall, the spread wings and studious air make a small scene that intrigues as much as it amuses. The print is made for people who cultivate offbeat humour and love to surprise guests where they least expect it.

A treat for the lover of dry, understated humour who was sure their bathroom walls were already complete, and who appreciates a joke that reveals itself slowly. A fitting present for a fan of gothic curiosities who knows how to laugh at himself.
