"I wonder how this is gonna turn out!"
―Francis McReary, when Gerald and Derrick first switch places

Trading Places is the first comic in Season 5 of Sibling Rivalries.

Plot[]

After hearing Francis ask Packie what would it be like if Gerry and Derrick switched places for a day, the two decide to do so. It seems like a fun idea at first, but things turn bad when the two forget to switch back, leaving Derrick to play Gerry's football game against the Wisconsin Warriors, and Gerry to do Derrick's hard math test for his math club.

Trivia[]

  • This is the first comic to specifically focus on Derrick, although his role as protagonist is equally shared with Gerry.
  • This is the third comic to involve a McReary sibling pretending to be another. ("The Big Trade-Off", "The Football Faker")
  • For the first time in the series, Derrick appears without his glasses on.
  • This is the second comic that is named after an episode of All Grown Up!, which was an inspiration of sorts during SR's fourth and fifth seasons. ("Wouldn't It Be Nice?")
  • It is revealed that Jose is on the Green Bay Packers youth football team, which contrasts from his brother Joel, who is on the Wisconsin Warriors team.
  • Seeing that Gerry and Derrick can fit into eachother's clothes without any problems, they could possibly be the same size in clothing, despite the two year difference between the brothers.
  • If Gerry wore Derrick's glasses almost all day, then his eyesight could have been seriously damaged due to Derrick's prescription. However, Gerry may have worn a pair of glasses without the frames in.
    • Similarly, it was not safe that Derrick was navigating around without glasses. It is hinted that he isn't wearing contacts either as he struggled to see the ball that Jose threw to him, causing him to get hit on the head.
  • At the end, apparently Packie and Francis switched places with each other as they both wear the others' outfits. This is especially goofy since both have the exact same interests, thus switching places would not make them much different.
    • Additionally, Packie wears Francis's hat and Francis has his hat off for the first time ever. His hair is styled nearly the same as Packie's. In Season 8 comic "Pack To The Future", Francis gives Packie his hat to keep as a going away gift, and Francis's hair appears again, revealed to be extremely poofy when he does not have a hat to cover it.
