How can it not answer your question? I mean, Bob Denver played a beatnik named Maynard G Krebs on a sitcom called "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis." That's it. That's who Maynard is. (And Silentbri, nut might not see this post since she's not here)

"Well, Laverne is sort of childish"

"Childish? Childish? COming from a grown woman who throws tea parties for her stuffed cat!"

"Well at least I don't sew L's on everything I wear!"

"Well that would be pretty stupid considering your name's Shirley!"

Well like Silentbri said wait for Gilliganut to get back from vacation. He will give you more than a detailed description of Maynard. Probably all the way down to what kind of socks he wears!

Okay Maynard G. Krebs is played by Bob Denver in "The Many Loves Of Dobie Gillis"
it ran from '59-'63.
And yes it's the same dude who played Gilligan.
Maynard's a beatnik and you would often find him hanging around with his best friend , Dobie Gillis.
maynard sure does have a way with words.
he says colorful phrases like,"You rang?" or "Like I'm gettin' all misty"
He could use some new clothes.
he always wears a gray t-shirt that slopply tucked in and has 2 big holes in them.
He also wears gray pants and as for the socks,T,i guese he wears cotton gray socks,and worn out tennis shoes.
Deep breath. I'm not finished yet! Sit down!
He loves jazz and scary movies.
And he hates to work. If you mention it he'll scream bloody murder.
Oh, and dobie's obsesses with girls,while Maynard only likes the beatnik girls.
