Memories of a novelty toilet seat cover seen in a relative's home. On the top was a cartoon of a sad man sitting in a toilet about to flush himself down, with the caption "Goodbye Cruel World". The flip side had two messages: "GENTLEMEN: Stand close. It may be shorter than you think." "LADIES: Please remain seated through entire performance."
The art and lettering had that cheesy-T-shirt-booth-on-the-midway vibe; not quite professional enough for the Spencer catalog.
At the time I marveled that grownups had the power to buy stuff like that and put it in their homes, but mostly didn't.

Owls on anything were really popular in the 70s.
