When the good Captain shows up to save the day, he brings with him dynamic action and wordplay that meet the series’ standards. The creative chums fool around with time travel and several wacky inventions before coming upon the evil Turbo Toilet 2000, making its return for vengeance after sitting out a few of the previous books. His school-age companions, George and Harold, maintain most of the spotlight. The famous superhero returns to fight another villain with all the trademark wit and humor the series is known for.ĭespite the title, Captain Underpants is bizarrely absent from most of this adventure. We challenge anyone to read this and keep a straight face. With illustrations that startle in their manic comedy and deadpan direct address and with a narrative that follows four endearingly sardonic characters trying to push past (sometimes successfully) their fear-causing natures, this book instantly joins the classic ranks of Captain Underpants and The Stinky Cheese Man. Blabey has hit the proverbial nail on the head, kissed it full on the mouth, and handed it a stick of Acme dynamite. Although these predators find that not everyone is ready to be at the receiving end of their helpful efforts, they use all their Bad Guy know-how to manage a few hilarious good deeds. Wolf, the foursome sets off determined to un-smirch their names (and reluctantly curbing their appetites). Wolf enlists three equally slandered friends into the Good Guys Club: Mr. "Just because I've got BIG POINTY TEETH and RAZOR-SHARP CLAWS and I occasionally like to dress up like an OLD LADY, that doesn't mean… / … I'm a BAD GUY." To prove this very fact, Mr. Wolf is right there to greet them, bemoaning his reputation. Four misunderstood villains endeavor to turn over a new leaf…or a new rap sheet in Blabey's frenzied romp.Īs readers open the first page of this early chapter book, Mr.
