Building Stories - Suggested Reading Order

There had to be an asshole; it had to be me. Forgive the proof of concept-y nature of this skeletal post -- I'm hoping to expand this into an essay and thusly review the comic 'n shit -- and do enjoy this suggested navigation for your Building Stories experience. It's designed to preserve surprises, evade narrative tedium, and *totally make you cry, you baby* throughout the course of Chris Ware's fascinating, flawed toy box of anxieties and reminisce:
