Wouldn't it be an interesting exercise to suppose that the Disney 
universe is real in a different dimension, a dimension that intrudes 
on ours through the creative endeavors of such folks as Carl Barks, 
Floyd Gottfredson, William Van Horn, Marco Rota, Don Rosa, etc.? That 
the very creative processes of CB, FG, etc., are in fact extrusions 
into our universe of that other dimension, to be observed and enjoyed 
and marvelled at as they pass through and leave their marks, even 
though those marks are spotty and, from our perspective, riddle with 
inconsistency?

Sure would explain a lot, and not just about Disney.
