Are george and harold gay
Harold goes gay
Not this Harold, or this Harold, or even this other Harold, but THIS Haroldis homosexual. Who knew? In their latest adventure, Captain Underpants and the Sensational Saga of Sir Stinks-a-Lot, Harold and George travel twenty years into the future to meet their grown selves--George has a kind wife and two children, while Harold has a nice husbandalong with two kids. At least, I thinkthis is how it goes; there are threesets of Harold and George in this entry and I would be at a loss to say you which one was which at any given moment. (I have never been able to shadow a Captain Underpants manual successfully from start to finish.)
Good for him. I don't know if this means Harold is lgbtq+ now (the picture on the left is fan art, not from Dav Pilkey's hand) or if he just goes homosexual later, but I'm reminded of a conversation I had with Jacqueline Woodson years ago about what we called "pre-gay" characters, that is, fictional children one could imagine growing into gay or lesbian adults (pretty much everybody in Harriet the Spy, for example, and Jackie cited the girls in her own House You Transfer On the Way).

Melvin. Melvin's parents are directly stated to be bordering on neglectful, by both the books and Dav himself. They're heavily focused on their research and their work to the point that Melvin is implied to nearly take nurture of himself. They brush him off in I believe their first appearance in the books because they're too busy with serve . And that's just in the books. In the exhibit, Melvin's dad is shown to look after more about Melvin's work and inventions than his well-being and safety
Melvin is canonically neglected, and coded to be autistic. This is likely why he's such a show-off in class; the only way he knows how to get positive attention from adults is to be bright and a suck-up. He is a neglected child acting out for attention the only way he knows how, and the thing is... it WORKS. He has that positive reinforcement that his behavior is the ONLY way to get any adult to concern about him
Obviously, this has lead to major issues with him making friends his own age. He might own even tricked himself into thinking he doesn't need friends, because he needed to adapt to being alon
One of the kids in Captain Underpants turns out to be gay in the books. So canonically, would that create the character in the upcoming animated film gay as well?
In the final Captain Underpants manual the two boys, George and Harold, go into the future and find themselves married with kids. Harold just happens to be married to a man…and nobody bats an eye. It’s just there and chill.
The creator of Hey Arnold referred to his character Eugene as protégay, meaning he’d be queer once he grows up. So perhaps Harold is protégay as well?
I also think it’s fascinating that both George and Harold are revealed to have ADHD, and the author, Dav Pilkey, had chosen the illustrative design of the book because of his dyslexia.
Bet you didn’t realized Captain Underpants was this deep.

Captain Underpants Creator Softly Reveals One of His Main Characters Is Gay—Get the Details!
Fans of the Captain Underpants children's book series are in for a surprise with one of their favorite characters.
In the twelfth book of the series officially titled Captain Underpants and the Sensational Saga of Sir Stinks-A-Lot, George and Harold meet their future selves.
And as author and illustrator Dav Pilkey silently reveals, Harold is a gay character.
"Soon, everyone had gathered together in Senior George's studio," the passage read. "Old George, his wife, and their kids, Meena and Nik, sat on the couch, while Senior Harold, his husband, and their twins, Owen and Kei, plopped down in the giant colossal beanbag chair."
The route concluded, "'We're your dads when they were kids,' said Harold."
While some are applauding Pilkey's subtle but significant words, others are swift to question if it's right for their kids.
It's a situation the renowned author has encountered before. Back in 2013, Pilkey's serve appeared on the American Library Association's (ALA) 2013 Superior Ten List of
