Description
Robert Crumb XYZ Comics "Keep On Truckin'" Page Original Art (Kitchen Sink, 1972). The hugely popular "Keep On Truckin'" art featured in Zap Comix #1 led to an onslaught of (mostly) unauthorized T-shirts, posters, belt buckles, truck mud flaps, you name it. It would end up causing all sorts of headaches for Robert Crumb, including an enormous back taxes bill from the IRS, on revenue Crumb contended he never received. In this witty page, he tries his best to start a new fad, this time with plenty of copyright notices, something he wished he done the first time around. "Keep on Choodlin'," anyone? The art is in ink on Bristol board, with an image area of 8" x 12", matted to an overall size of 16" x 20". Slight handling/edge wear; overall Excellent condition. And remember, "Keep it Reet!" From the Felix Dennis Estate.More information about Robert Crumb. See also: Crumb, Robert, Crumb, R., R. Crumb Artist.
