No.... I know of skunks from the cartoon Pépé the Skunk, but I never really reconnected that with reality, as in, they smell bad IRL, that's not just a cartoon thing. So that prevented me from identifying the xkcd being about grandma's remedies.
They smell about as bad as a feral cat. What they do is they make you smell bad if you scare them.
