Rendered in black and white, a German shepherd holds its newspaper wide open, seated on the toilet with a seriousness that fools no one. The graphic, grayscale treatment lends this absurd little scene a surprising elegance, like a moment stolen from the most unlikely private setting imaginable. The result is funny without ever being crude, and that is exactly its charm.

This visual belongs to our canine series with a sharp sense of humour, kept in our Dog Posters collection. Hang it without a second thought in the loo or a washroom, where it takes the edge off an otherwise stiff little room. It reliably draws amused remarks from passing guests and soon becomes a running joke of its own. The black-and-white choice does a lot of the work here, lending a faintly chic distance that makes the gag land all the harder without ever feeling heavy-handed. You smile properly, then get on with your day.
