I think that the books reached a zenith on humour, but continue to rise in actual literary quality with occasional bumps and dips. For example, I think Soul Music and Hogfather are much funnier than both Color of Magic and later books like Night Watch, but Night Watch is a better book overall. Going Postal and The Truth were both funny and good books aside. Monstrous Regiment I disliked. It felt forced and "angry" somehow, as if he didn't enjoy writing it or like any of the characters. I thought that it might be a "beginning of the end" book that signified a decline in quality, but he was back on form later.

Gaspode does not die at the end of Moving Pictures. As the magic of the clicks fades away, he loses his powers of speech and awareness and becomes a normal dog again. In later books, its explained that he regained the ability while scavenging around Unseen University - the residual magic energy there brought it back.
