The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

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.
That's my favorite fallacy! =D
average interaction with a doctor as a trans person
I think the silly logic in these kinds of comics is funny. Why would the doctor give a shit? lol
Because snitches get stitches
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
