The Original poster was printed in 1967 by  Print Mint and was quickly and abundantly pirated. The original sells for good money this copy. About this illustration Crumb states “Keep on Truckin’ is the curse of my life! This stupid little cartoon caught on hugely…Big feet equals collective optimism. You’re a walkin’ boy! You’re movin’ on down the line! It’s proletarian. It’s populist…I was thrown off track! I didn’t want to turn into a greeting card artist for the counter-culture! I didn’t want to do ‘shtick’…That’s when I started to let out all of my perverse sex fantasies. It was the only way out of being ‘America’s Best Loved Hippy Cartoonist.’”
