The original poster fearturing this R. Crumb design was printed in 1967 by Print Mint and was quickly and abundantly pirated. The original sells for good money compared to this copy. Regarding this illustration, Crumb states: “Keep on Truckin’ is the curse of my life! This stupid little cartoon caught on hugely… Big feet equal 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 counterculture! 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.’”
