I've read American Gods, Good Omens, and Neverwhere by Gaiman. Very, very good author by the way. Anyway, I was wondering the same thing the first time I read Good Omens, which is why I went on to read other Gaiman books. I've since read GO probably close to 15 times (yes I re-read books a lot) I can pick out more and more. I wouldn't necessarily say that the darker humour comes from Gaiman solely, look at the character of DEATH and you'll see hints of him in all of the Four Horsemen as well as Crowley. And some of the lighter humour comes from Gaiman and not Pratchett. I don't think I've ever seen Pratchett so obviously reference recent artists like the references to The Best of Queen tapes, or the James Bond bullet-hole-screen-transfers. Anyway, I also agree with everyone else, that the messages in the book came from both minds. The whole good versus evil and being left alone was mentioned, but another message is the whole interaction between Crowley and Azraphile (misspelled, I know) and the idea that everyone can get along. I doubt I could identify who each message came from like I can with specific parts of the humour, but both obviously contributed.
