Logic Made Easy
The logical relatives of 'If A, then B': statement, converse and inverse, then sillier ones like traverse, subversive, freeverse, multiverse, perverse, reverse and versatile.
Content note: Panel 5 jokes about arranging an 'accident'; panel 8 ('Perverse') is mild innuendo with a redacted image.

[1] Statement: If A, then B. A: "You follow wherever I go."
[2] Converse: If B, then A. B: "My, how the tables turn."
[3] Inverse: If not A, then not B. [A and B each crossed out]
[4] Traverse: If A, then keep going until you reach B. [A road winds into the distance toward B]
[5] Subversive: Look, I'm not saying not A… but suppose some kind of "accident" were to befall A… [B eyes A, who whistles]
[6] Freeverse: If A, / then / — like the hush after a howl of wind — / B. [A and B in berets]
[7] Multiverse: If A, then not A in a parallel timeline.
[8] Perverse: Eww, I didn't realize A and B had that kind of relationship. [IMAGE REDACTED]
[9] Reverse: B neht, A fi. [A and B drawn backward/upside down]
[10] Versatile: A or not A, I'm cool either way. A: "You want me in or out?"
