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”
