I remember having the same impression 20 years ago. My housemate had the whole series of books, and would rave about how brilliant they are.
After reading the first book, it was such a "meh" experience I didn't bother reading any others. Some occult guy traps the dream guy in a glass pot, dream guy escapes and wanders around getting his stuff back, also, his sister is a hot goth chick who happens to be the grim reaper. Later I understood it was peppered with references to other cartoon books, but that eluded me at the time.
Not sure what I'm missing but I just don't get the appeal.
