    If anyone needs help with the joke, “snitches get stitches” is a phrase that usually means an informant is likely to get stabbed

      Stabbed? Damn, I thought it was just about getting punched. It’s a lot worse than I thought.

        Well, the severity of the threat depends on context. The school bully is more likely to beat you up, but if it’s a gang or prison situation your life is in serious danger

        But I guess in the context of the comic it doesn’t really matter, only that the kid isn’t getting stitches because he ain’t no snitch

      The second half of it, at least in Wayne county, is “naw fuck that, they get ditches”

    The saying isn’t “only snitches get stitches”, the insurance company probably just denied it

      Had to look up the logical fallacy because I thought there must be a name for it. It’s called “affirming the consequent” or “fallacy of the converse” among other names.

    I think the silly logic in these kinds of comics is funny. Why would the doctor give a shit? lol

      It being funny is the entire point, they’re a comic.

        Oh shit, no way? I hadn’t put that together.

        Thanks for clarifying!

          I know it was a intricate and very contrived plot, so I’m glad to have helped.

          ;p
