Also the Stainless Steel Rat series - it’s not as slapsticky as Bill, but still comedic.

Craig Shaw Gardner’s Ebenezum/ Wuntvor trilogies are fantasy comedy.

Philip Jose Farmer (as Kilgore Trout) wrote Venus on the Half Shell as a sci fi comedy.

Mentioning Kilgore Trout… maybe look into the works of Kurt Vonnegut - his works are usually sci-fi - not as openly comedic, but have more of a bittersweet / satire / black comedy / surreal comedic situations.

Yahtzee Croshaw (the Zero Punction guy) has also written several fantasy and sci fi comedy books - Jacques McKeown is one series.

Glen Cook, more famous for the Black Company series - also writes a fantasy comedy series - Garrett P.I..

Steven Erikson, more famous for the Malazan books - also writes a sci-fi comedy series - Wilful Child.

Robert Lynn Asprin also wrote the Myth Adventures series. Phule’s Company is sci-fi comedy, Myth Adventures is fantasy.
