I replied, almost jokingly:

Possibly the eyepatch is a reference to the 1970 Dr. Who episode "Inferno"?

This morning, the artist who writes and draws Candorville, Darrin Bell, replied:

You're definitely not overthinking this. I'm amazed that anyone caught that.

I have no words for how chuffed I feel right now. :) *does a geeky little dance*
