A hen, comfortably settled on the toilet seat, holds her newspaper wide open and follows the day's news with disarming seriousness. The mere sight of a chicken striking the pose of a thoughtful reader is enough to tip the whole scene into the most delightful absurdity. You never expect to meet a hen this well-read, quietly buried in her columns, and that is exactly where the comedy comes from.

This print rounds out our series of animals caught in very human routines, ideal for waking up a toilet or bathroom wall with a note of the gloriously ridiculous. It slips a touch of farmyard whimsy into even the smallest room, exactly where nobody expects it. Fans of the farmyard and of offbeat humour will be right at home. It appears in our Bird Posters collection, where the feathered world comes with a generous dose of whimsy.
