Flutesnoot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Professor Elmer Benjamin Flutesnoot, or Mr. Flutesnoot, is a fictional character from the Archie Comics books.
Mr. Flutesnoot is a Chemistry professor (he has also been shown teaching music as well). Although to a lesser level than Hiram Lodge and Mr. Weatherbee, he is sometimes the victim of Archie's ever-present accidents (in particular when Archie blows up the school's chemistry lab).
Occasionally Mr. Flutesnoot will run into trouble when dealing with his scientific finds. In one comic, Moose gains the ability to predict the weather from sunspot activity. The sunspot affect wears off right as Moose predicts sunny weather for the next day's meteorological picnic, so Flutesnoot makes a fool out of himself when a thunderstorm comes instead.
Another time, Flutesnoot's satellite dish picks up a signal he believes to be of extraterrestrial origin, but he later discovers that the sound is from an audio tape running backwards. However, at the end of the story, there is, in fact, a rock band of aliens singing the exact same words.
Skinny and aging, professor Flutesnoot sports little, white hair and an extremely prominent nose (hence his name). There is another character who rarely appeared, Mr. Fluteweed, who might have been an origin for this character.
