On the one hand, I kinda agree with you. On the other hand, I cannot think of any other author who solely with the written word has made me physically laugh out loud, page after page, book after book. No other writer comes even close. Maybe he was funny in an obvious way, but he did it with such consistency and volume that it became something special.
