Keep on Truckin'

Good evening avid readers....

So today i was watching the classic Simpson's episode entitled "Homerpaloza" and it came to the scene where Homer was doing this funny walk where his legs were stuck out far in front of him. This captivated me because for some reason it was very familiar and because it is the Simpsons i figured it must be a cultural reference. So I did some research and found out that it is from the 1960's Robert Crumb one page comic "Keep On Truckin". 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.

So in conclusion...

Old Simspons episodes are great.

Underground comics are great.

And i hope to purchase a "Keep on Truckin'" t-shirt in the distant future
