• E V Debs (1855-1926) American socialist

• Maynard G Krebs (1959-1963) beatnik/hippie TV sitcom character portrayed by Bob Denver and named in parody of E V Debs. From wiki page:

His abhorrence of conventional social forms is signified by comical reactions to three words: “work”, “marriage”, and “police”. For example, whenever the word “work” is mentioned, even in passing, he yelps “Work?!” and jumps with fear or even faints.

• Norville “Shaggy” Rogers (1969 - ???) cartoon character in ‘Scooby-Doo’ originally based on the Maynard G Krebs TV character
