Clark Ashton Smith doesn't have the great characters, but there is a wry and ironic streak running through his Hyperborean and Averoigne stories in particular. Arrogant thieves, hapless or venal priests, mischievous wizards. His gods and demons also tend to be more meddling and capricious than Lovecraft's. While he is more morbid than REH and Lovecraft, he is undoubtedly the most humorous.

Clark Ashton Smiths short stories are public domain and it looks like most of them are on Eldritchdark.com. I recommend The Empire Of Necromancers for a morbid morality tale in a dying earth setting; The Abominations Of Yondo for something grimly exotic; and The Tale Of Satampra Zeiros for a rollicking weird tale of thieves in an antediluvian setting.
