The rules are simple:

- 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.

That's not an immediately lethal injury, I don't know why they show him dead in the last panel. There's not enough major arteries going through the face tissue for someone to immediately bleed out, and there have been many, many stories of people suffering partial face and/or scalp degloving and surviving, sometimes with only minor disfigurement if the blood vessels can be salvaged/reconnected in time.
If that fucking cop could do his job instead of acting like a hysterical child, he could get the guy to medical care and they may be able to reattach his face. It's not even totally severed, this dude could make a full recovery if they can keep him from going into shock and dying later.
Likely he could sue Velma and the gang and get a share of what I assume to be years and years of reward money, or stolen criminal loot they've acquired. Why else would they "solve mysteries" for so many years?
Yes, I do overthink things.
perhaps they aren't dead. perhaps they lost consciousness due to blood loss or shock.
or maybe the pain was too great and they passed out.
you may over think things, but not enough π
Also, small town cops are probably not used to seeing someone getting their face ripped of in front of them.
You're under-thinking this. Cops don't help people during medical emergencies. They're trained to stand there and let people bleed out and die in front of them rather than lifting a finger to help. Also, I'm pretty sure if the mystery gang does get any reward money, Shaggy just smokes it all away.
Sir, this is a Wendy's.
Just for dramatic effect lol
You're forgetting that there is a large dog in the scene, who has just been presented a piece of fresh meat.
Man you must be fun at parties
