You know what, This is just like the show Reaper. First the devil becomes all friendly and social with you. Then he tells you your mom sold your sold to the devil years ago. Then he asks you for a favor of chasing down monsters and returning them to hell. It happens all the time.
Although on the over hand, should I be surprised that Hell has become one huge inefficient bureaucracy? Somehow miles of red tape and forms to fill out just seem to make sense for hell. Although it does seem surprising that the devil would let a union form in hell.

Only one of those things has happened in the strip, to that end, it's nothing like Reaper.

I'm always amazed at what's accepted and criticied in the world of nonsensical cartoonery.

It was just a joke. It would have made just as much sense if I had said "I bet the devil is just sucking up to her to get her to help him move to another apartment."

You don't think it's strange that talking animals only exist in Barkeater Lake? I bet it's because a wizard did it. :) j/k Nice touch with the Racs shirt.

From his preface to The Screwtape Letters (1960), C. S. Lewis writes:
"The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid 'dens of crime' that dickens loved to paint. It is not done even in concentration camps and labour camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the offices of a thoroughly nasty business concern."
