I couldn't agree with this more.  As long as the characters adhere to the basic character traits that they were assigned, it's okay to stray from the Barks (or Gottfredson in the case of mice) ways.  Some people may not personally like the stories that stray from those paths, but the odds are that the following story in the book *will* meet your expectations.  

As soon as we assign strict continuity to Disney comics is when they become no better than the super hero books that clutter up the comic shops.
