Honestly, I always thought he (and Douglas Adams) owe a lot to William Goldman's The Princess Bride with all the little asides and footnotes and such.
To my mind, the series wasn't great until he stopped focusing on the Witches and Wizards (who are more annoying than funny). The ones I like are about Death (and his daughter Susan), the Guards, and the stand-alone or short series ones (more recent), though there is sort of a slightly creepy trend towards what seems like a utopia by dictatorship message.
