- Sandra: How can you possibly be that perverted all the time?!
- Larisa: I’m just a natural!
- Sandra: You say that like it’s a good thing!
- Sandra: Teach me your ways, demon girl! I want to make Cloud blush like an embarrassed tomato!
- The Devil: As you can see, ladies, our future senior manager is making very good progress!

Larisa is the best character in this comic, she is a beautifully crafted foil to Sandra’s personality. The clever combination of realistic psychology and cartoon hijinks is what makes this comic so popular I think.
So, knocking on the table as applause is more an European thing…
Funfact: Knocking on the table is a kind of greeting for the regulars on the regular’s table in inns in the part of Germany (Bavaria) where I live.

I have no idea what you’re trying to say, but I’m curious to know what you meant.

And anyone else wondering why they knock on wood.
Yes it has been said is is a form of applauding,
But it started as a academic way to applaud the speaker without any interruption to the speaker. It is also considered more respectful to the speaker and the other gathered members, then vocalizing your applause.
The reverse is less known or documented: but mostly yelling ‘Boo’ or as @ Trevyn Case said hissing are known methods of disagreeing with the speaker.
I did a small research paper on the history of academic lecturing, why all the written and unwritten rules and all habits that came with ‘lecturing’.. the TLDR outcome of why this was done; They wanted to share academic information in a effective way. and not become like politicians.

@ Owen Smith:
Um… yes, we do, except for some small purchases, or for electronic purchases, where you can get away with your address and a three-digit code on the back; debit is PIN, with chips recently introduced. Except gas, where you only need your zip code for some reason – I don’t know how that works, although I’ve never bought more than about $20-30 at a time on a card (yay compacts, yay OPEC), so maybe you have to go inside for larger purchases.
…but the comic’s set in the US, isn’t it? Then again, this panel isn’t even in the physical universe…
she doesn’t need Larisa’s help to get cloud all embarrassed just mention his date with Barret, or the nice dress, wig and underwear he wore to rescue Tiffa, or the bizzy bee (and the hot tub)

@ Regis Earsquake:
I don’t think that’s what he meant by putting hell and Germany in the same question.
Hmm? Are there any INCUBUS?
@ Guest:
Well, the Devil himself seems to fit all the qualifications of one; if the qualifications are being a male demon capable of seduction and debauchery.
I finally did it!

Woo and Larisa were so hard to cast. Everyone was just kinda obvious to me.

Freemasons.
Illuminati.
The actual world government.

Upper management.
The first organization in this list uses knocking as a sign of appreciation. Internationally. On whole Earth.
Why would the others be any different?
It was incredibly fun to read those cute guesses in comments above.

That’s cool. You’re also correct. I don’t care that much.
I don’t think they applaud. In fact, this look more like old russian superstition: “Knock on wood”. When somebody make good forecast or prognosis or sentiment, other say: “Knock on wood!” to drive away imps and evil spirits, who would like to ruin good expectations, by making this prognosis wrong.
So, if knocking is a German habit…. and everyone in hell is knocking… that means…. wait! I almost got it!
She’s going to wear The Lingerie, isn’t she?
And slowly removing it again.
It’s great to see Luna happy.
She seems to have found a boyfriend after all.
Had a feeling he’d know she didn’t need his help in the end…and his staff seem happy.
@ Trimutius:
As two of the demonesses appear to be Asian, perhaps it’s a Japanese custom? So… Hell outsources to Tokyo? Hell is located somewhere below Osaka?
