* TheRant for one strip acknowledges that Lucy's outfit is loosely based on ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess''. Her name, however, is not a reference to Creator/LucyLawless but [[Series/ILoveLucy Lucy Ricardo]], part of a ThemeNaming that also has Diane named after [[Series/{{Cheers}} Diane Chambers]] and Rhoda after [[Series/{{Rhoda}} Rhoda Morgenstern]]. Diane's sister Rhea is named after Rhea Perlman, because calling her Carla would have been too obvious.
