Who is the Jughead of literature? I'm not being facetious; I wanna read about a character who is cool, happy and just doesn't give a fuck.

Usually characters who don't "give a fuck" are morose betas like Meursault or completely boring like Oblomov. I want the optimistic happy-go-lucky version...

William Tell- Schiller
Ditmars- Strange Animals I have Known

Genuinelye happy, cool guys who just went about their business, fucking bitches. Ditmars was a journalist, herpetologist and zoo curator, on of the last Renaissance men of the world. He helped develop the first anti-venoms. His writing feels like a conversation of brandy in the smoking room, and it made me feel warm inside.

I didn't mean it that way, and to be honest, his writing is the opposite of elitist. He sets the reader on equal level, which was my point. A comfortable conversation in the trappings of the mid twenties.

Hunter S. Thompson was pretty bitter and self-hating a lot of the time. He hated that he was constantly being objectified for his drugged, zany nature, yet still perpetuated it to keep up appearances.
It's not that he wasn't a cool guy. I agree with you on that, but he was self fearing and self loathing.

It's not a crown, it's a bust-up, recycled hat. It was a fashion in the 30s or whenever.
