During this time, Dav Pilkey was caring for his terminally ill father, who died in 2008. [17] In 2009, he signed a deal with Scholastic for four new books, the first of which was The Adventures of Ook and Gluk: Kung-Fu Cavemen from the Future, released August 10, 2010.

After leaving his office due to 30 minutes pass, the yesterday version of the boys showed up late to class but were not as they seemed as if Sir Stinks-A-Lot put them in a trance that causes them to never misbehave have fun or day dream using their imaginations. They were later confronted by Ms. Anita Calculator but they didn't show any signs of whining or being worried by being enthusiastic of what she was going to do to them no matter how bad it could've been. She then found the boys on their best behavior not being disruptive at all which had Melvin and other students confused of them. Melvin didn't know what was going on at this time but he was impressed. The yesterday boys didn't even change the letter of the signs. At the end of the day, as the kids walked off to home, Sir Stinks-A-Lot tells Mr. Krupp that this was only the beginning as he patted him on the head.

George and Harold accidentally unleash the Talking Toilets on the school and get cornered by them. Amongst the chaos, Tara Ribble snaps her fingers, turning Krupp into Captain Underpants. Captain Underpants then runs around town, collecting as much underwear as possible. Upon his return to the school, he discovers that flinging underwear into the Toilets' mouths does nothing. After George and Harold realize they can use the cafeteria food to stop the toilets, Captain Underpants uses the last pair of underwear to sling-shot it into The Talking Toilets' mouths. Yesterday George and Yesterday Harold decided to move on without Captain Underpants by making a new comic about Dog Man at the end, but it's unknown if they know that Mr. Krupp is no longer Captain Underpants himself. However what makes me most sad is the thought that this wonderful book series has come to a credible conclusion. I am sure the recent successful film adaptation and TV show will herald more stories but, quite frankly, neither format offers the unique chance to control the action via Flip-O-Rama fight sequences.
