In 1972
Robert Crumb came up with a sequel of sorts to
Keep On Truckin', titled
Remember Keep On Truckin'?. It was a one-page
strip composed of 27 panels of continuously decreasing size, originally published in
XYZ Comics. Crumb's bitterness about the
co-optation of the original
Keep On Truckin' on the one hand and the rampant
copyright infringement on the other, is obvious in both style and content. To make his satiric point, he went as far as placing a "(c) 1972 by R. Crumb" signature in each
panel of the strip, up to four in some of them.
It goes a little something like this:
- Remember Keep On Truckin'?
- That was a big hit... Well, now, how 'bout Keep On Rollin' Along?!
- Keep on Chunkin'?
- Keep on Toodlin'?
- Keep on Choodlin'?
- Keep on Boofin'?
- Keep on Doofin'?
- Keep on Boppin'?
- Keep on Hoppin'?
- Keep on Keepin' on?
- Keep on Onnin'?
- Keep on No-noin'?
- Keep on Peekin'?
- Keep it Clean?
- Keep Right On!!
- Keep on The Scene?
- Keep it Up?
- Keep on Moonin'?
- Weep on Keepin'?
- Keep on Fuckin'?
- Keep on Groovin'?
- Keep on Movin'?
- Keep it Krazy Kool?
- Keep it Reet?
- Keep on Zeetin?
- Keep (c) by R. Crumb
