additional information

If anyone wishes to add more stuff to this article, there is a good bit about it on the simpsons commentary for the Kamp Krusty episode. It's right at the start of the Kamp Krusty song and it has some details about a legal battle and how the albulm was released and never updated. --Simpsons fan 66 03:58, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

sale of 2005 derivative KAWS painting

I don't know the best way to add the following, but I propose adding it in a new section of this article called Cultural References or maybe In Popular Culture.

On April 1, 2019, the painting THE KAWS ALBUM (2005), by the artist KAWS sold for HK$115.9 million ($14.8 million) at Sotheby’s Hong Kong. Artnet notes that this was "nearly 15 times the high estimate and more than five times his previous record of $2.7 million, which was set just last year." It continues: "The record-setting painting is a parody of a parody: It recreates The Yellow Album, The Simpsons’ take on the Beatles’ famous 1967 album cover for Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, which replaced the original figures with characters from the animated series."

I suppose this info should be added to the KAWS page as well, as it constitutes a record for his career.
