There is much speculation as to why Prof. Flutesnoot is obliged to teach both Science and Music at Riverdale High School. Is he some comic book version of Paul Hindemith, modeling his compositions on principles of physics or astronomy? Or was it simply an editing error? In the panel gag “The Corney Cornetists,” collected in the IDW hardcover Archie Joke Book Volume One: Great Gags from Great Archie Artists, Archie and Jughead are in the school’s music room (playing cornet, badly), when in walks their music teacher… Mr. Fluteweed. He looks nothing like Prof. Flutesnoot—he has a pointy rather than bulbous nose, a small mustache and dark hair (though both men are bald on top). But their surnames are enough to cause considerable confusion. I wonder if they got each other’s paychecks by accident.
