If Charlie Manson was the long-haired hippie freak that put the fear back in the USA, then Maynard G. Krebs (Kreb Cycle, anyone), http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maynard_G._Krebs , was beatnik/proto-hippie was the character who had put an innocent face on the hipster before most people had ever seen one.  Gilligan's Island is reference in IV, making Maynard and The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Many_Loves_of_Dobie_Gillis conspicuous in their absence.
