If they were to publish a "Best of Usagi Yojimbo" trade, which stories would you feel should be included? The multi-part epics aside, what single or two part stories best capture the wonder of Miyamoto Usagi and his world?
Some that come to mind for me right off the bat:
"Chanoyu," the tea ceremony story with Usagi and Tomoe. So thoroughly touching in the most amazingly subtle way.
"The Last Ino Story," Zato Ino was an amazing character, and Stan gave him an incredible exit.
"Stormclouds Part," the death of Spot. Still makes me get teary eyed.
I could probably list twenty more if I took the time to think about it, but I want to give others a chance to add their picks...

issue #11 (Sep/1988) "The Tea Cup"
One of the first Usagi stories I ever read, and because I was a devoted reader of Sergio Aragones' Groo the Wanderer.....
But, for the most part, I think they could just rename the various books in the series so that they are called "The Best of Usagi Yojimbo" volume 1 - 23
