Captain Underpants and the Terrifying Re-Turn of Tippy Tinkle trousers is a 2012 American children's novel and the ninth book in the Captain Underpants series by Dav Pilkey.[1][2] It was published on August 28, 2012, six years and thirteen days after the publication of the previous book. This book explains how Tippy Tinkle trousers arrived at the end of the eighth book, as well as a prequel story of George and Harold in kindergarten explaining how their friendship began and setting the page for their life before Captain Underpants. Originally teased by Dav Pilkey on his website as the second part of a proposed duology that also contained 'The Prepostorous Plight of the Purple Potty People', the book was teased to contain an adventure into prehistory, and the death of two main characters (described as 'not the kind of death where the characters are thought to be dead and then are revealed to not be'). The finished book, however, focuses mainly on George and Harold's backstory four years before the events of the series, and only bears any similarities to the teased book in its title, while the book's proposed plot was used for the following book, The Revolting Revenge of the Radioactive Robo-Boxers. Between 2004 and 2011, rumours circulated that this book would feature the debut of Zelda, a hyena, who was rumoured to become another one of George and Harold's pets.
