21. The Anti-Climactic Chapter

CHAPTER 21 THE ANTI-CLIMACTIC CHAPTER The battle between man and beast was over. George and Harold petted Sulu's giant face and breathed a sigh of relief. "He'll be OK," said George. "He just got knocked out." "Great!" said Harold. "It looks like all of our problems are over!" "NOT SO FAST!" said a voice that came from somewhere on the lower right-hand corner of the next page.

It was Evil George, along with Evil Harold and the Ultra-Evil Captain Blunderpants. The terrible trio had been busy working on their preposterous plight (which is just a fancy way of saying that they were busy robbing a bank). "Somebody's been messing with our giant attack hamster," said Evil Harold. "I think we need to teach those goody-goodies a lesson!" "And I'm just the guy to do it!" said Captain Blunderpants proudly.

Instantly, the mood shifted. Everyone stood back. The air crackled with tension. The showdown of the century was about to begin. Captain Underpants would soon engage in a historic battle with his evil twin. Never before had our brave hero encountered an enemy who was so powerful. Pound for pound, super power for super power, Captain Underpants was pitted against his equal. He had met his match. It was to be the ultimate smackdown... an all-out war... the brawl to end all brawls... the definitive clash between good and evil... a momentous confrontation of the most critical—

SNAP! George snapped his fingers, and suddenly the horrifyingly evil Captain Blunderpants transformed into a friendly elementary school principal. "Awww, maaaaaan!" cried Evil George and Evil Harold. "We read your comic book back in chapter 8," said Harold. "Didja think we wouldn't remember how to turn your evil super-villain back into a harmless principal?"

George and Harold quickly found some rope and tied up Evil George, Evil Harold, and Nice Mr. Krupp. "We're taking you losers back to your own reality where you won't bother us ever again!" said George. "All we have to do is de-hypnotize and shrink Sulu, and our job will be done!" said Harold. "Nothing can possibly go wrong now!" "Y 'know, you really shouldn't say things like that," said George. "Why?" said Harold.
