detracts from its enjoyment. I think many artists hold other views. Some deliberately disregard minor details of continuity as being secondary to elements such as plot and character development. Others go further and view the story an artform to which a real-world concept of continuity can not be meaningfully applied. This is perhaps a symptom of the article being unsourced (and, as unsourced articles tend to, wandering into OR). A more thorough study of the literature available on the topic will probably help broaden the article's POV to be more inclusive.--

In the absence of this source, the current position with regard to Knowledge is just to avoid assuming either approach when discussing Barks' work (or Rosa's for that matter). And it's not as easy as it might sound. The websites from which much of our information comes all seem to use Rosa's approach

I was just thinking that it might be good to have examples of continuities that have worked out really well. What comes to my mind is the Star Wars franchise of the expanded universe. Such tight control is kept over that continuity (By George Lucas) that practicably all media in the franchise is

The article as currently written treats discrepencies in continuity as errors which are inherently undesirable. I would consider this a non-neutral point-of-view, based on a particular view of stories as "fictional histories" - from which it follows that any imperfection in the story's "reality"

Tales, where in "The Miller's Tale" a door is ripped off its hinges only to be slowly closed again in the next scene." Um, this isn't a huge problem, but I'm pretty sure the Canterbury Tales isn't a visual medium. It's a book, right? (Edit) Ok, that's been fixed; thanks.

Arthur Clarke's 2001 series might be a good example of deliberate inconsistencies: he says in the introductions to 2010 and 2061 that he deliberately updated the backstory to match current scientific discoveries.
