Does anyone know of any good books (preferably futuristic, hopefully with some additional elements such as aliens or zombies) that contain a character or characters like this?

I'm not looking for it to be the focus of the book, mind you. But for me it seems to make the story more interesting.
any of the heinlein future history stories and novels with a character named "Andrew Jackson 'slip-stick' Libby.
