Comic Strips: Regular data loads2007-07-21T14:13:28.0000Zhdshttp://www.freebase.com:80/view/user/hds<p>Comics are an area where a large amount of information is produced on a regular basis.

Of course, after this question is answered we still need to get hold of said information - but that's a fight for another day.</p>http://www.freebase.com:80/view/guid/9202a8c04000641f80000000054d9060Comics are an area where a large amount of information is produced on a regular basis.
