I'm currently building what basically amounts to a cross between a search engine and a gallery for web comics that's focused on citing sources and giving authors credit.

I'm trying to figure out a way to search an image to find characters within it.

For example:

cyanide and happiness http://web.archive.org/web/20131027053620/http://www.explosm.net/db/files/Comics/Kris/omg.png

Assuming I have the red character and the green character saved as Red Man and Green Man how do I determine if an image contains one or the other.

This doesn't need to have 100% recognition or anything is this is more of an added feature I'd like to create, I'm just not sure where to start. I've done a lot of googling for image recognition but haven't found much helpful.

For what it's worth, I'd prefer to do this using Python.
