The G is silent in English words starting with gn. Gnarly gnats is pronounced narly nats.

There’s not a lot of those words anyway

Gnu and gnome are exceptions only when used to describe the software. The gnu animal and the mythical gnome creature are pronounced with silent gs.

I know it’s completely off-topic, but anyway. No, I’m fine with the rake. That’s what’s makes it funny.

It’s the drawing of the skater that is too good, and that doesn’t add up with the other details being wrong. Someone who can draw a skater that good wouldn’t make the other things that wrong or even random.

The rake is drawn as doing a frontside shove-it, popped from mid-air and failing because of gravity suddenly changing in the middle of the sequence. The skater is “obviously” doing a varial heelflip instead of a frontside shove-it.

So that’s the clue to why I thought it was drawn off an actual picture. That the background is also a copy of the original only reaffirms my theory.

In hindsight I can also see that the skater is obviously Andrew Reynolds. The tuck and landing is his signature style.

The last picture in the meme always bothered me, because the sequence doesn’t make any sense physically. (Popping the rake from mid air and doing the wrong flip and such)

So, I went on to find the sequence that I believe it was drawn from.

It’s all good until you experience a fire where there’s two of them.
