The classic office plan: a single desk in a 600sqft room. I know the nature of the joke required the ability to see plenty of bags of fertilizer, but they didn't even try to have a plausible office setup for the joke.

Better than even odds I'll be upset by the answer, but (1) what is Roger, (2) what's their deal? Is there a person inside that meaningless colored grid?

That doesn't sound like much of a prank. Why would you want your substitute to think you're incompetent? Also why would you want someone else touching your instrument, especially the ones that involve using your lips?
When I was in middle/high school orchestra, my friends and I did try each other's instruments, including woodwinds and brass. It varied based on the instrument and who owned the instrument, but it was a mix of curiosity about other instruments and clumsy orchestral flirting. That said, I would've never actually lent my instrument to someone when I couldn't monitor it — instruments are fragile as hell and routinely cost over a thousand dollars. e: this has a corollary where I would never even consider borrowing a friend's instrument if they weren't watching me like a hawk

I don't remember ever having a substitute, although I did end up at various county/state level competitions with people from my school. Swapping instruments to look incompetent would have been break-even for the worst people in my school's orchestra and embarrassing for the best. I don't think the idea ever crossed our collective minds.

Is there anything I could say about this that hasn't already been said? gently caress off, Dustin's dad. Piece of poo poo.

So shortly after Rudy outing someone as a metaphorical minority (and it being portrayed as a good thing), we're about to having someone out R.L. for miscegenation in a world that frowns at it (I guess? I can't keep straight what inane metaphor is which) and it's probably going to be portrayed as a "haha, gotcha" thing. Maybe it's unfair to assume the worst when I haven't seen the next few strips yet, but it's incredible how little Holbrook thinks about the implications of his comic.

I feel like there's an interesting story in the premise of two people effectively raising each other via time travel, but I don't trust Holbrook to write it.
