That's a tough call, there, Lawrence.

If only to keep a record of the hosts' appearances in these comics, it might be worth making one story for framing sequences. Assuming there is only one framing story (even if that "story" is just the host dicking around for a few panels every 6 pages), then making the "1st story" of each book the framing story makes sense to me. I would call it "Framing Story" rather than just leaving it as "1st Story"

That allows us to tag the appearances for the framing story as if it were any other story, without shoving the hosts into the anthology stories.

GCD's method is a little more complicated than I'd do it. I'd just have one story that covers the opening and the closing of the book. And if I were writing a synopsis for it, it would probably be one sentence along the lines of "Cain and Abel fight over who is fatter, and tell three stories about X, Y, and Z." (without going into too much detail about the plots).
