A hefty brown bear has wedged itself onto the toilet, newspaper unfolded between its enormous paws, taking its sweet time with the day's headlines. The sheer size of the animal dropped into this everyday scene creates an irresistible contrast, somewhere between a giant plush toy and a Sunday reader. You cannot help grinning at the thought of the bathroom shrinking around this colossus lost in his paper.

This offbeat illustration moves into the toilet or bathroom to sprinkle a little cheer exactly where you least expect it. It appeals to lovers of unusual decor who plainly prefer a smile to seriousness and enjoy catching guests off guard. Nothing lightens the most private room in the house quite like a philosophical bear, easing the mood the moment you step through the door. This reading bruin belongs to our animal gallery, waiting for you in the Animal Portraits collection.
