Humor's a funny thing (only small pun intended). Personally I
find Goodis one of the more depressed and somber noir writers
I've come across. But that's me. Hey, next you're going to
tell me there are people out there who find Woody Allen's
last half dozen movies funny!
Nobody's mentioned Jonathan Latimer yet. His William Crane
books have almost a screwball feel to them, but still
hardboiled. And Solomon Vineyard's - which is as hardboiled
as it gets, is very perversely funny.
