Ferris was fictional and created by a baby boomer. Some of John Hughes's teen characters fit well into the 80s/90s mindset. Somebody as whiny as Molly Ringwald in Sixteen Candles and Pretty in Pink wouldn't have had her own movie a generation before, ditto for Jon Cryer's character, but Ferris was mythical and timeless and probably based more on Hughes own high school days -- or what he wished they were like. Huckleberry Finn was more a character of the 1840s, rather than the 1870s, but history moved a lot slower then, so it really didn't matter.
