keep on truckin

Don't give up

Keep on truckin is an encouragement to persist or maintain momentum despite difficulties.

The phrase emerged from 1960s and 70s counterculture, popularized by R.

Crumb's comic artwork showing figures striding forward with exaggerated confidence.

It suggests resilience with laid-back optimism: Things are tough, but keep on truckin.
