Zipping back and forth in time atop outsized robo–bell bottoms, mad inventor Tippy Tinkletrousers (aka Professor Poopypants) legs his way to center stage in this slightly less-labored continuation of episode 9. Is this the end? Well, no…the series will stagger on through at least one more scheduled sequel. Pilkey tucks both topical jokes and bathroom humor into the cartoon art, and ups the narrative’s lexical ante with terms like “pharmaceuticals” and “theatrical flair.” Unfortunately, the bullies’ sad fates force Krupp to resign, so he’s not around to save the Earth from being destroyed later on by Talking Toilets and other invaders… George and Harold link up in kindergarten to reduce a quartet of vicious bullies to giggling insanity with a relentless series of pranks involving shaving cream, spiders, effeminate spoof text messages and friendship bracelets. Cut to five years previous, in a prequel to the whole series. The villain sets off after George and Harold, who are in juvie (“not much different from our old school…except that they have library books here.”). There, he witnesses fellow inmate Tippy Tinkletrousers (aka Professor Poopypants) escape in a giant Robo-Suit (later reduced to time-traveling trousers). To start, in an alternate ending to the previous episode, Principal Krupp ends up in prison (“…a lot like being a student at Jerome Horwitz Elementary School, except that the prison had better funding”). Not that there aren’t pranks and envelope-pushing quips aplenty. Sure signs that the creative wells are running dry at last, the Captain’s ninth, overstuffed outing both recycles a villain (see Book 4) and offers trendy anti-bullying wish fulfillment. Kids will be too busy laughing at the antics of Griffin and his pals to mind their implausibility.Įasy, slick and silly it’s Saturday-morning-cartoon hijinks between the covers of a book. Korman's fifth caper is wholly unbelievable from start to finish but a ton of fun nonetheless. Griffin must devise his most complex plan to date, and when that goes south (as most of his plans do), it’s on to yet another scheme, since Swindle’s promised to use his dog-show winnings to make the kids' lives miserable forever. Rather than surrender her beloved fur-friend, Savannah prevails on the group to help her hide him.but all of them are headed to different summer camps in a few days. When the dog pound fails to produce Luthor’s release-for-adoption paperwork, Swindle wins him back. The kids know it's because Swindle heard that Luthor nearly won a ton of money at a recent dog show. Wendell Palomino, or "Swindle," as they came to know him during their first adventure, arrives to say he is suing to get Luthor back. Thirteen-year-old "Man With The Plan" Griffin Bing and his five friends are celebrating the fifth birthday of Savannah's rescued Doberman, Luthor, when S. Hiding out’s easy forcing 150 pounds of former guard dog to hide out-not so much.
