* ''Captain Underpants and the Sensational Saga of Sir Stinks-A-Lot'' showing Harold as a happily-married gay man with two children in the future, is seen as one of the most progressive moments in the whole series. Even better is that it was presented matter-of-factly, without making a big deal out of it.
** While this inevitably drew ire from conservative groups, as well as fans who felt that this was completely unnecessary, some of his now-adult or teenage fans who read his books in childhood, many of whom turned out to be LGBT themselves, have practically ''exploded'' with support and happiness. Also, a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}, seeing how much it means to many LGBT teens to see an LGBT character in a children's series they loved so much.
** It's subtle, but the fact that the words "his husband" appear in the text speaks volumes about Dav Pilkey and his publisher's bravery to include an openly gay character in a children's book when such a topic is still so taboo. They weren't not doing the bare minimum of just drawing Harold next to another man so that they can have plausible deniability if parents complained. It's right there in black and white: '''"his husband"'''.
** This development was so well-received that Harold/said husband has been adopted by the entire fandom as definitely the future (At worst, he and Harold will be in [[OneTrueThreesome a triad with George, which may or may not also involve George's wife, who is well-liked if not to the extent of Harold's husband]].)
* As revealed in his biographical blurb, Dav Pilkey's teachers and principal as a child told him he'd never make a living as an artist and that he should stop wasting time "drawing silly comic books." Fast forward to now...
-->''Fortunately, Dav was not a very good listener.''
** Speaking of which, [[https://instagram.com/p/BfeCNVzH9Pe/ a fan asked Dav on Instagram]] if he ever saw said teachers or principal again after the success of the ''Captain Underpants'' series, and this was his response:
--->"No, I never saw any of them after my books started coming out. I had a few opportunities to, but I declined. Sometimes it's best to put the past behind you. #nohardfeelings #noregrets"
* The fact that George and Harold [[WordOfGod have both been confirmed]] to be diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia, [[AuthorAvatar like Dav Pilkey]]. While it's not as groundbreaking as the whole "Harold has a husband" thing, the fact that both kids are portrayed as smart ([[BookDumb just not]] [[BrilliantButLazy book smart]]), capable and competent as well as good kids who, while mischievous, deserve better than their school generally offers is worth celebrating as many kids with either disorder let alone both at the same time have been made to feel, intentionally or otherwise, stupid and incapable. Plus, there's the fact that Dav managed to defy the naysayers who belittled his artistic talents and become an ''extremely'' successful author with ''several'' successful books on the market; admittedly he doesn't illustrate all of his books ([[Literature/RickyRicottasMightyRobot Ricky Ricotta]] being a prime example) but the fact that he ''writes all of them'' indicates that he has come a long way.

* So many moments in ''Return of Tippy Tinkletrousers'':
** Kindergartner George saving kindergartner Harold from Kipper Krupp and his goons.
*** First, a little context: little Harold was hiding behind the display sign of Billy Bill's gas station while trying to hide from Kipper and his thugs on his way to school. [[{{Jerkass}} Billy Bill]] saw this, grabbed him, and handed him over to those aforementioned bullies because he thought little Harold was messing with the sign when he clearly wasn't, and was seen to "[[{{Sadist}} enjoy watching]]" the blatant bullying occurring in front of him.
*** George witnesses this and outwits Billy Bill by [[SignsOfDisrepair deliberately removing two letters from the sign]] [[ExploitedTrope to cause chaos]], and by that, we mean changing the sign from "Free Brake Inspection" to "Free ''Bra'' Inspection". The 'updated' sign prompted some LaserGuidedKarma for Billy Bill, as many old women nearby started attacking him, [[MistakenForMisogynist believing him to be a misogynist]] due to the 'edited' sign. This doubles as a [[Funny/CaptainUnderpants Funny Moment]].
---->'''George:''' [[IronicEcho You gotta learn to stick up for yourself, or people are gonna bully you your whole life!]]
*** George then stands up to the bullies by ''whipping them with his tie'', ''Indiana Jones''-style. While Mr. Krupp shows up to Kipper's cries to [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished drag the two kindergarteners to detention]] for 'bullying' and 'lying', this ends up solidifying their friendship.
