Considering that the writers of the story have both point blank stated that Grim Tales and PPGD share characters, but happen in separate alternate universes, doesn't that make arguing about it moot?
If people read any of DC's "Crisis" storylines, (love 'em or hate 'em), they could easily understand how it is possible for multiple versions of the same characters to exist with only subtle differences between them. I mean, honestly, do you think Craig and Genndy had PPGD in mind when they created Blossom, Dexter, and Jack?
Sometimes you get a case of "For Want of a Nail," where something bad happens in one universe and turns it into a crapsack world like the GT version of Megaville. Since the universes are different, BeeAre and Griddles can bounce off of each other and make their stories better... GT can be dark and creepy as one would expect from a comic called GRIM tales, while PPGD can go in the opposite direction.
Keep in mind that there isn't necessarily just one variable (i.e. 'nail') that caused GT to be different from PPGD, that separation is up to the writers.
YES! Someone made the big reference! I was hoping someone might because it annoyed me that no one made a reference to one of the most known about multi-dimension examples out there in this discussion to point out that there can be two stories that don't lead up to the same ending. I mean it's common knowledge that it is possible to have two stories in the same universe but on different dimensions. Another example is how Marvel does it as well with the Zombie Universe (ugh that one creeped me out big time) and the whole Spidermans of different dimensions coming together to a big fight (saw it in the Spiderman Animated Series when I was a kid)
