How are we supposed to interpret his musical interludes, which include stage directions and extra characters who pop into existence in the middle of the song and then sometimes have impact on the plot that follows the song? Are we to consider every page of his books just a farcical Looney Tunes episode, or are these bits fantasies that aren't meant to be "canon" for the story?

I just read all his songs to the tune of the family guy theme and it usually fits just fine
