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.

oh wow I really needed the explanation for this one 😂
Some “old home remedies” would be: tomato sauce, for skunk; peanut butter, for gum; and prairie oyster cocktail, for hangover. Most of these either don’t work or make the mess worse so a game show where people try this on a wild animal would be disastrous and possibly humorous if you ignore the animal abuse.
You don’t have a home remedy for removing skunk smell, removing gum from hair or curing a hangover?
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.
