I don't think so.

Yes, I think that's what you should do.  If you have a lot of toons,
that may be too slow, but unless you can quantitatively estimate the
amount of time list.index will take (and it's too much), try the
simpler method first, and then optimize by adding the dict if
necessary.

I don't think so.
