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.

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.

Freeze the skunk.

  • gum falls off
  • no smell
  • skunk has no hangover anymore

oh wow I really needed the explanation for this one ๐Ÿ˜‚

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.
