Bat ears up, face set in total concentration, newspaper wedged between his paws: this French Bulldog takes his reading break very seriously indeed. Everything people adore about the breed is here — the comic self-assurance, the impossibly expressive mug — dropped into the silliest situation imaginable. Walking past without a chuckle is genuinely difficult, even months after hanging it up, because the little guy really does look like he has opinions about the sports pages.

The illustration is part of our series devoted to bulldogs, those big-hearted clowns who clearly deserved a gallery of their own. It brightens a WC, a laundry room or an apartment entryway, and speaks to anyone who shares their sofa with a Frenchie or secretly wishes they did. Find the rest of the pack in our Bulldog Posters collection.
