the male characters tended to be either suited up dandies(barnabas,roger)or blue collar joes(joe haskell,tom jennings).even with his muttonchops quentin was still a jacket-wearing member of an upper class family.
i think that 1970 characters like jeb and bruno were a somewhat late attempt at representing the "counterculture" percolating at the time.jeb was,if i recall,a motorcycle riding photographer.sort of a lame "easy rider" if you will.hence the long hair and shaggy coats.kind of lame but that's my impression of it.
