2. Pictorial and humorous papers
The main aim of the serious cloacopapyrologist is not to build up a collection of scatological material and unfortunately toilet paper is all too frequently a medium for precisely such outpourings. Nevertheless it is an aspect of the cultural nexus of the product which the impartial observer has to reflect, and so the following examples are presented without either apology or approbation.
