Being that this is a sex comedy, the over-sexed owner of the rooftop sex palace is played for laughs – including the lisping guards wearing helmets, boots and codpieces. The reveal on the next page is that the owner – one Sucullus Agrippa – is actually a man. Our hero responds by kicking Agrippa in the ass and into a fire. This prompts the punchline of the episode – “Our flaming queen is a flaming queen.” Which is actually a pretty funny line.
