Superchick is a program to view manga, that is, Japanese comics. It can also be easily used to view American comics, or any other collection of images. However the feature set is slanted towards viewing images that should be displayed in alphabetical order, 1-2 per screen, and in right to left order.
Superchick requires Python 2.3 and Pygame 1.5 or higher. If SDL is not compiled with support for PNG and JPEG images (it probably is), you will not be able to load most image files. On Debian 'unstable' systems, apt-get install python2.3-pygame to get everything you need.
A README and manual page are included with the program.

Superchick implements a text box widget in Pygame that happens to be very featureful; in particular, it features filename tab completion and a large subset of Readline contols (^A, ^E, ^T, ^K, ^Y, ^U, ^F, and ^B). I have released it separately, into the public domain. Feel free to use it however you want. Look at the Superchick source for an example of how to use it (Short version: instantiate it with a message, and then call ask on it).
