The bot appears to be down, so it's now up to me again like in the old days to post new xkcd comics here. :D

As always, you are permitted to call one person for guidance, but that person must be a grandparent.

Freeze the skunk.

gum falls off
no smell
skunk has no hangover anymore

TIL Cueball is Alton Brown.

Give the skunk a Bloody Mary. The vodka will help dissolve the gum and will help with the hangover, the tomato juice will help neutralize the smell, the garnish will keep the lil guy occupied as to not bite you.

"Hair of the dog that bit you" approach is okay but idk if a drunk skunk is better than a hung over one.

Contestant 3 gave the skunk gatorade, water, and advil.

Contestant 2 appears to have gone into shock of an unrelated delayed release monkshead and nightshade poisoning coupled with arythmia caused by meat-only diet. This was all actually predicted by the odds in the betting market.

oh wow I really needed the explanation for this one 😂

You don't have a home remedy for removing skunk smell, removing gum from hair or curing a hangover?

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

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 bad IRL

They smell about as bad as a feral cat. What they do is they make you smell bad if you scare them.
