I do find he does 'explain' his allusions alot and sometimes keeps making the jke so often that it gets stale (notable in Thief of Time or was it The Truth)The Bromeliad (Nomes) books were good too and pretty much inform my conception of gNomes (along with the smurfs and wee mad arthur)Anyway another question - a lot of his humour is very 'british' (although it got more worldly as he developed) does the humour translate into different cultural melees? (ie do those of you not of the commonwealth 'get the joke?')*the example used at alt.Pratchett is of Djellibeybi. Apparently PTerry was concerned Americans would get it and so he named a neighbouring country 'Hersheba'  (then again Enworld readers may be more worldly (and used to British humour) than other Americans)</blockquote>
