The first book is Billy's OriginStory, and is about the uprising of a villain named Deputy Danger and his NiceGuy dog.

The sequel, ''Super Diaper Baby 2: Invasion of the Potty Snatchers'', was released in 2011. The book was ostensibly made after Mr. Krupp declared George and Harold's first comic book to be garbage. The book catalogs the nefarious acts of Dr. Dinkle and his cat Petey.

George and Harold agree with him, surprisingly, and decide to write about something else other than poop. They end up writing a comic book about pee.

He did not say anything about not writing a 100-page comic book about a new superhero, which led to the two creating Super Diaper Baby.

* PunchClockVillain: Danger Dog, Deputy Dangerous' sidekick in ''Super Diaper Baby'', admits at the beginning that he's not actually evil, but rather just with the Deputy for the Kibbles.

After George and Harold got into trouble with Mr. Krupp, he ordered them to write a 100 page essay about being a good citizen. He also specifically berates them that they better not turn in a 100 page comic book about Captain Underpants. George and Harold are disappointed that they can't write about Captain Underpants...

The first book is Billy's OriginStory, and is about the uprising of a villain named Deputy Danger and his NiceGuy dog.
