Tootie’s Poster!

I did a little digging, and I found that Tootie’s poster (more easily visible in other episodes) is a “1979 promotional poster for the exhibit "Maisons Naives" (primitive houses), featuring a painting by French artist Monique Valdeneige (1944 - ). The exhibit took place at the Galerie Primitifs et Naifs in Paris, France.” You can purchase this poster, framed, for $140 on Etsy.
