“Captain Underpants and the Sensational Saga of Sir Stinks-A-Lot”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Captain Underpants and the Sensational Saga of Sir Stinks-A-Lot is the twelfth and final book in the Captain Underpants series, written and illustrated by Dav Pilkey.^[1] The book continues after the eleventh book, as George, Harold, and their clones switch places, but to find their gym teacher Mr. Meaner turning into Sir Stinks-A-Lot, who makes the students turn into slaves.

Plot summary

On the planet called "Smart Earth", one scientist is mixing "smart" ingredients, but the planet explodes, one chunk landing at Piqua Valley Home. Gym teacher Meaner eats a chunk, and the other teachers follow him as he escapes. Yesterday George and Harold visits his office, where he sprays them with a strange substance which turns them into robot-like slaves. The other teachers are amazed at their behavior, though George and Harold are not, and they get sicker because of excessive homework. They see a commercial for the “Rid-O-Kid 2000” and disguise themselves as adults, making the children do silly things "for" the teachers. The teachers call in Mr. Meaner and enraged at what he sees, he gets out his Stinky Kong 2000, now a mech suit.

Deciding to seek help from adults they can trust, George and Harold go to their parents, only to find that they know they’ve changed and prefer it that way. Feeling heartbroken, they go to Melvin’s house to find his Robo-Squid, then travel forward in time to find their older selves, now famous graphic novel writers, and their families (we also find out that George is biracial and Harold is gay^[2]). The older and younger versions of George and Harold travel back in time to find Mr. Krupp. The older George and Harold tried to snap their fingers, but as he had been washing his face, he can not turn into Captain Underpants, and Mr. Meaner beats them up anyway. Once Mr. Krupp dries his face, they snap their fingers and turn him into Captain Underpants, defeating Mr. Meaner and sending him to prison.

After eating an egg salad sandwich with pickle relish, Meaner turns into a blob (because the egg salad contains mayonnaise and he added pickle relish; this would create Zygo-Gogozizzle 24) called Sir Stinks-A-Lot. He then causes havoc downtown. Captain Underpants returns to fight him back, but when Old George and Old Harold are captured and absorbed, Sir Stinks-A-Lot discovers Captain Underpants' weakness and turns him back into Mr. Krupp with water, making him fall down (he's still unharmed because of his super powers). He then drains Captain Underpants' powers with his own after scanning his DNA, presumably taking the effects of the 3d Hypno Ring as well. He runs off screaming as Old George and Harold telepathically call for Tony, Orlando, and Dawn, Sulu and Crackers' children. They feed him Mentos, Diet Coke, and Pop Rocks, making him explode. Luckily, the three hamsterdactyls and Old George and Old Harold are unharmed, as well as Mr. Meaner, who's back to normal.

Things are back to the way they were, and as young George and Harold return their older counterparts to their own time, they find that Mr. Krupp doesn’t turn into Captain Underpants at the snap of a finger, because Mr. Meaner erased Captain Underpants from existence. They decide, given there's a George and Harold to cover for them, they'll use Melvin's time machine to find Crackers and Sulu. Yesterday George and Yesterday Harold wake up to find that Tony, Orlando, Dawn, George and Harold are gone. They go back to their tree house. Yesterday Harold feels that he and Yesterday George should make another Captain Underpants comic book, but George decides that he and Harold should do a comic book featuring Dog Man. The book and series end here, and unlike all those other Captain Underpants adventures, George and Harold do NOT shout their cries of "OH, NO!" and "Here we go again!". However, George and Harold's comic book The Adventures of Dog Man: World's Greatest Cop (later renamed just Dog Man) would be another Captain Underpants spin-off book, released on August 30, 2016.

Comic: Dog Man: The Bark Knight Cometh

This is a random chapter. Dog Man "betrays" the cops by assaulting them, then he reveals that he's actually Petey the cat. He tries to slice them up with his sword, but above, Dog Man – as his superhero alter ego, "The Bark Knight" – falls toward Petey and breaks his sword with his bone numb-chucks. The two engage in a fight, and while this is happening, Petey shoots hand rockets at Dog Man, revealing he's actually Mecha-Petey (a robot version of Petey). He assaults Dog Man, then Milly – a cop – kicks Mecha-Petey in the face, removing it and revealing he's actually Porkbelly, an angelfish.

Controversy

In October 2015, the book received mass controversy due to a reference to Harold being gay. Some elementary schools have banned the book for this reason.^[3]^[4]
