Nah the Wold Newton Universe is a wonderful thing, especially when you dig into the more wacky offshoots, like how they explain there being like 50 different versions of Dracula and how most of them are in fact the real Dracula in spite of all the contradictions and paradoxes that should cause

My first exposure to the Wold Newton stuff was this writeup folding Scooby-Doo, of all things, into it: http://www.pjfarmer.com/secret/hyde/mysteryinc.htm

I have no idea how I stumbled across this page, what I might have been looking for or whatever. Probably one of Jess Nevins's League annotations, as he's cited in the notes and this would have been around the time the comic was coming out and I was always champing at the bit to follow up my reading with his notes. I think this article's suggestion that Three Days of the Condor is about an adult Encyclopedia Brown is what got me thinking these people are having an awful lot of fun.
