Comfortably settled on the throne, an okapi unfolds its newspaper as though beginning a long morning read. The mix is irresistible: the strikingly striped coat of this shy forest dweller, the focused look behind the pages and the familiar setting of the loo make up a little scene full of quiet humour. Every detail, from the crinkle of the paper to a leg draped casually to one side, plays the card of unshakeable seriousness. You smile despite yourself at this absurd tableau that turns an ordinary moment into a small everyday comedy.

This illustration joins our series of animals caught in offbeat situations, where the laugh springs from contrast and detail. It finds a natural spot above a toilet, in a small room you like to make welcoming, or in a bathroom that doesn't take itself seriously. Modest in size or a bolder print, it lands with every visitor. It belongs to our Animal Portraits collection, where creatures turn up in scenes as comical as they are endearing.
