  | Full Text Reviews: Booklist - 01/01/2002 For those who love Captain Underpants, this is vintage. For those who don't . . . well, you know. This time out, George Beard and Harold Hutchins create a comic book about their teacher, Mrs. Ribble, whom they christen the Wicked Wedgie Woman. Is there any point in recounting the plot? Suffice it to say, somehow the boys engineer Mrs. Ribble's transformation for real. Along the way, readers will get plenty of action, underwear, and robots, all stuck together with potty words and other stupid stuff. The comic strip can be clever, although some adults will object to the miserable spelling the boys use: advenchures , inapropreate , askidentelly . Most of the black-and-white illustrations are wild and woolly, with someone being stomped, splashed, shaken, or screamed at in a good many of the pictures. Familiar fare for a devoted fan base. - Copyright 2002 Booklist. Loading...
