Yeah, because every series has to be a reference to each other?

Wrong.

Similarly, I never thought Junk from SDMI ever looked like the Trash Monster from BCSD ever looked the same. But some people do. Even the sea creature looks like the Beast of Bottomless Lake from TSDS. However, the Madcap and Ghost Clown, while both being clowns, they don't really resemble each other. And in comparison, the Ghost Clown clothing has different clothes, different hair, different make-up, and looks way more placid than Madcap.

Also, JCB has gone on record to say that not every monster was supposed to be a reference to a past monster, because I think they were trying to go for some originality. Sometimes making a connection for the sake of it, just isn't worth it.
