Where is he not acclaimed? His last few albums have done very well, he's become absurdly more popular over the last 10 years, and I doubt you'd find a young comedian today that doesn't consider Patton Oswalt to be an inspiring figure. I'd put him a notch below Louis CK in terms of influence in comedy today, and a…
