Is any of the art actually on the toilet seat or is it all on the lid as shown in the pictures?

Can’t go without a mention of Isotope Comics here, hands down the best comic store in San Francisco!

They have a huge collection of toilet lids drawn by comic artists, the Comic Rockstars Toilet Seat Museum:

I really, really enjoy Derek Yaniger’s art. And Mitch O’Connell is, of course, absolutely genius.
