Keep on Truckin' (comics)

Keep on Truckin' (comics)

"Keep on Truckin'" is a one-page comic by Robert Crumb. It was published in the first issue of "Zap Comix" in 1968. A visual riff on the lyrics of the Blind Boy Fuller song "Truckin' My Blues Away", it shows an assortment of smiling cartoon men drawn in Crumb's distinctive style strutting confidently across a barren landscape. The strip's drawings became iconic images of optimism during the hippie era. Like most underground comics "Keep on Truckin'" was not copyrighted, and images of it have been widely reproduced on T-shirts, posters, and other items.
