What? That’s exactly what the text is implying?

The last panel is literally the doctor saying ‘I cannot give your son stitches because they did not snitch’

Yes but imho that is funny.

"snitches get stitches" mean "if you snitch you will get stitches".

On the last panel the doctor says "if and only if you snitch you will get stitches" which is completely different and thus an humoristic subversion of expectations.

(note that I'm not the final judge of what's funny and what's not. Kamel Debbiche is)
