Contents
The Story Begins!
This adventure starts with giant zombie nerds moving super slowly. One of them, a giant Zombie Nerd Harold, accidentally squishes a huge ketchup packet. Meanwhile, the tricky villain Tippy Tinkletrousers uses his time-traveling skills. He goes back in time to just before Kipper and his friends see him. There, he freezes them in place!
Time Travel Chaos
Tippy then shrinks himself down. He kidnaps his past self and takes him to a moment when George and Harold are about to get arrested. The boys try to travel back in time with their pets, but they accidentally bring their grumpy principal, Mr. Krupp, along for the ride!
Big Tippy sends his smaller self back ten minutes. This smaller Tippy finds out where they are. Then, he zaps himself back again to that spot. There, the tiny Tippys steal the Goosy-Grow 4000. This machine makes Tiny Tippy grow incredibly huge!
When Big Tippy tries to use a super powerful bomb to get rid of Captain Underpants, Supa Mega Tippy zaps himself and his twin back in time. He kicks Big Tippy and his bomb far away into the Gulf of Mexico. When the bomb explodes, it creates a giant hole and causes the event that made the dinosaurs disappear!
Prehistoric Adventures
Our five heroes and their captor then travel to the African savannas. There, George, Harold, and their pets become friends with some cave people. These cave people live in the nearby jungles. The boys teach the cavemen English using funny drawings. Then, they create the world's very first comic book! This comic shows drawings of traps that work on Tippy.
The Neanderthals are inspired by the comic book. They set traps for Tippy and defeat him! But then, Tippy sets off his freeze ray. His younger twin had messed with it, so it can't be turned off! The Goosy-Grow 4000 makes the ice grow even bigger. This seems to make Crackers feel worse and causes the Ice Age! Tippy himself gets frozen in the ice.
Into the Future!
George and Harold are then sent to the future by a slightly younger, giant Tiny Tippy. He grew huge thanks to the Goosy-Grow 4000! But it turns out they are now teachers at Jerome Horwitz Elementary. And Mr. Krupp is an old man!
To get rid of their evil future selves, George and Harold promise never to take life seriously. They snap their fingers, which turns both Mr. Krupps into Captain Underpants! The Captain Underpants duo then beats up the giant Slightly Younger Tiny Tippy. After that, Tippy tries to use his giant bomb to blow up the entire galaxy!
Crackers and Sulu decide to save the whole galaxy. They send Slightly Younger Tiny Tippy and themselves back to the time before the universe even existed. The three are then destroyed by Tippy's giant bomb. This explosion helps form the universe as we know it! It's also revealed that Crackers had laid a bunch of eggs. This means Crackers was a female pterodactyl! George, Harold, and the younger Captain Underpants all decide to take care of the eggs.
Suddenly, George and Harold's enemy, Melvin Sneedly, appears! He's in a giant Robo-Squid called the "Super Squid." Melvin captures George, Harold, Captain Underpants, and Crackers' eggs. He takes them all back to the future, setting up the next big adventure!
