I also re-read
Earth, Air, Fire and Custard last week. Which amused me greatly.

Also Dice Man is still a favourite

Yes I would.
Some of his stuff I found a little hard to get started with but the humour in them is pretty dry which amuses me

I think, like a lot of fantasy/sci fi comic authors
he gets a bit impressed with his own funniness, forgets to write the plot and keeps on at things that aren't all that funny

Tom Holt is Brill.
If you haven't read any, probably best to start with The Portable Door. Otherwise, Paint Your Dragon!, Who's Afraid of Beowulf?, Here Comes the Sun and Flying Dutch are all good ones too.

Robert Rankin is toss, though, I'll agree on that point.

Also, he has written some historical fiction under Thomas Holt.
'Meadowland' is quite good. Takes a while to get going but it's a good Viking tale...
