Seems like everywhere I go, I can't get away from those f*ing TFing you skunks!
Taken while on vacation at Universal Studios Florida quite a few years ago; if you're wondering how this guy wound up at a theme park, allow Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skunk_Works ) to elucidate:
The term "Skunk Works" came from Al Capp's satirical, hillbilly comic strip Li’l Abner, which was immensely popular from 1935 through the 1950s.[6] In the comic, the “Skonk Works" was a dilapidated factory located on the remote outskirts of Dogpatch, in the backwoods of Kentucky. According to the strip, scores of locals were done in yearly by the toxic fumes of the concentrated "skonk oil", which was brewed and barreled daily by "Big Barnsmell" (known as the lonely "inside man" at the Skonk Works), by grinding dead skunks and worn shoes into a smoldering still, for some mysterious, unspecified purpose.
The Wikipedia entry also explains why "Skunk Works" became the name of something in real life.
Since no one other than greymuzzles have ever heard of this strip, I suspect the Li'l Abner corner of the park, along with this particular "skonk" are long gone, undoubtedly replaced by some pop culture attraction a bit more contemporary. (I have no idea why it was there to begin with.)
PS: working on a new Mr. Airwick TF that (not kidding) came to me in a dream!

Oh man, this is a classic TF I remember! I do believe this is one of the earlier TF images I saw that really got me into loving the idea of photomorphing TFs as well as stretching the pants and or bursting them for a lovely big tail! Thank you for reuploading this one! Still a nostalgic TF favorite of mine!
