Keep On Truckin' (comics)

"Keep on truckin'" is a famous phrase and image from the 1970s that was popularized by the underground comic artist R. Crumb. In the comic, there was a character who walked with a funny strut and had the words "keep on truckin'" written next to him. The phrase means to keep moving forward, even when things get tough, and to have an optimistic attitude. People often use it as a way of encouraging themselves or others to stay positive and keep going, even when life gets hard. The "truckin'" part of the phrase comes from truck drivers who, in the 1970s, were seen as free-spirited and independent individuals who didn't let anything get in their way.
