Chapter Summaries & Analyses

Chapter 6 Summary: “Busted”

An announcement summons George and Harold to Principal Krupp’s office. Ominously, Principal Krupp is smiling—something the boys have never seen. Krupp shows them recorded footage of the boys conducting their pranks before the football game, including sprinkling pepper into the cheerleaders’ pompoms and pouring liquid bubble bath into the musicians’ instruments.

The boys squirm nervously. Krupp joyously tells George and Harold that he has been trying to acquire evidence of their mischief for years.

Chapter 7 Summary: “A Little Blackmail”

George asks what Krupp plans to do with the tape. Krupp tells the boys that he could send copies to their parents, the school board (which would result in expulsion), and the angry football players. The boys beg for him not to. Krupp says that he will only not send the footage if Harold and George adhere to a list of rules. The rules, some which are depicted in an accompanying list, include no more practical jokes, no laughing or smiling, no more production of the Captain Underpants comics, as well as washing Krupp’s car and mowing his lawn. Krupp is depicted as grinning maniacally above the list.
