Of course - that's just obvious. That is what happens when several writers
and several publishers work on the same comic in this way.

Well - you haven't checked if Rota's view on the brother-sister-thing is the
same today, have you?

Not at all. Rumpus and Gideone is not the same character.

Of course. Not to mention: EVERYBODY on this list has their own universe
like this.

Duckburg-universes:

I think there is many, many, many more.

mine and everybody else's

> - The geography of the Duck's world

VS something inbetheen VS something else inbetween VS what's beyond fantasy
VS what's beyond real

Well, most Duck stories can certainly NOT be in the real world, as they have
a city called "Duckburg" that certainly does not exist in the real world...
:-)

> - The history of the Duck's world
> real history VS fantasy history

What do you mean? Are there huge differences in history in the Ducks' world
and hours? In ANY stories?
