    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
