Forget snooty Mallory Brooks; here’s Cody’s real significant other. 
Unlike cocky Cody, Owen treats this exercise with due reverence. Yesterday he looked on pensively while waiting his turn at pretend fatherhood. Reaching into the bag, he glances bashfully at “wife” Sara, who, though apparently less than thrilled to be paired with Owen, at least isn’t grossed out by him. Owen seems genuinely saddened by faux Fate’s cruel blow, but best bud and father of “twins” Cody is right there, informing the rest of the class of Owen’s underwear preference.

Cody has decided that if Mallory’s gonna be a bitch about this whole pretend marriage thing, then he’s going all out to make this exercise as unpleasant as possible. 
But letting Mallory know just how he puts his “fertile imagination” to use? That’s being a little crass.
Owen, Blowin'
Super Band Mom, wearing her pink Ann Apple jacket, shows up in the nick of time with Owen’s horn, and the kid, without even tuning or warming up, nails his solo. Yay.
Whew
Not for nothing: they’re going to be performing with a number of other school bands. Do you not suppose that someone would maybe be willing to lend the kid a trumpet? Anyway, that panicked expression on Becky in panel 1 is classic. Her phantom left hand right now would be strumming her lips, making that crazy “flubberdedub” sound.
Owen No
Can’t snark on this one. I have a teenager in the high school band. This is funny and true-to-life. Thumbs up, Batiuk.
