Well, I still find him funny, but I guess that's because I really haven't read that many of his columns as they were in the papers. I read his books and own the vast majority of them. My local papers didn't publish his columns back when he wrote them regularly, so I rely on the books, which are of much higher quality. It reminds me of Erma Bombeck. I got to know her by her books first, and by the time I read some of her columns I could tell where she'd stolen the jokes from to make her books.
