+WHY DID YOU WRITE THIS?
+-----------------------
+ I didn't like the Python version because it required keeping
+ a list of active comics up-to-date, and it was very slow,
+ compared to the Perl version.
To be fair, the Python version uses some strange, awkward, slow constructs to do what it's trying to do. For instance, the list of comics is kept as a list, which is then run through every time, comparing the name to a keyword. It would become much faster if it was converted to a dictionary, where the name was the key, and the value was the rest of the list. Also, you would then not have to run through the list of input arguments many times, but only once.
I would be happy to convert the list over to dictionary format, if anyone thought that might be useful...
Later, Blake.
