How nice of her to dress up the classroom skeleton as mister B while he gets better! He even lent her his spare glasses!

That's what happens here, right? (•_•)

Woah, never realized the Read a Book poster in the last frame is a tie in to this comic: https://pbfcomics.com/comics/book-world/

Last panel Mr. B is back in the classroom. He's just missing his flesh.

I think it would've been made more obvious if the skeleton had not just the glasses but the moustache too.

But the bones do have lines resembling a mustache, having actual hair on bones would be weird.

Those are called teeth. And they don't look like the moustache of the guy.

Sure, having a moustache on a skeleton is weird. But, it's a comic. A reductionist art form where emphasis is put on the specific characteristics of a person - in this case, glasses and moustache. To represent that character in a recognisable form, you ought to utilise the characteristics you've assigned to them. Even if it's weird.
