Rastus is one of the many heroes in the Oracle series and for those of you out there who don't know, when he's not being your regular old hero, he likes to spend his days waltzing around as Main Character and polishing up on his character development.
Rastus didn’t moved, his horse drank without stirring, the birds had stopped chirping, not a creature moved.
Though Rastus is indeed a Fine and Reputable Character, he is in no way as valuable an asset to the Forces of Order and Justice as is Kaeda J'nor.

 Book Review: Rastus Reilly by Steve Kelly (2000)
To call Rastus Reilly pointless is to do it an injustice, a rather misleading tagline attached to the front cover of this bizarre novel.
Rastus harkens to Spike's wondrously eclectic and surreal humour and writing style.
Without the pitfalls of some of Spike's recent works (in which the swearing is excessive and often clumsy, and the set-pieces tired and dated), Rastus is fresh life in a familiar format.

 1907 Rastus Cream of Wheat Black Memorabilia Puzzle
The character of Rastus was based on an actual person- a fl waiter from Chicago- who was paid $5 for the use of his image by Colonel Mapes, the General Manager of the Nabisco Company, the owner of Cream of Wheat.
Interestingly from a social and historical perspective, the depiction of the ever-pleasant, always-smiling Rastus was both a subtle yet positive departure from the extremely derogatory advertising much more typical of the era- advertising that nearly always featured fls with wildly contorted and exaggerated features most often in very undignified poses and predicaments.
This beautiful puzzle, which is in excellent condition, is attractively framed in a hardwood molding colored in walnut, ebony and gold.

Rastus Reilly - Steve Kelly book review summary
I read 'Rastus Reilly', a truly insane comic novel by Steve Kelly, just recently, and it's the funniest thing I've read since John Kennedy Toole's modern classic 'A Confederacy of Dunces.' I'd say the new novel was broader than Toole's book but it might be even funnier.
