Trivia
- Roy, Haley, and Vaarsuvius are posing like the title card from the 1976 TV series, Charlie's Angels in the final panel. This is also referenced in the title of the comic.
- The Vestal Virgins were priestesses of Vesta, goddess of the hearth, in ancient Rome. As many as six virgins were consecrated from before puberty and remained celibate for 30 years, during which time they would tend the sacred fire and guard the Palladium. They were a powerful force in the affairs of the city.
