A graphic novel spinoff of Dav Pilkey‘s Captain Underpants series will no longer be published or distributed by Scholastic, after concerns that the book “perpetuates passive racism” towards the Asian community. The book in question, The Adventures of Ook and Gluk: Kung-Fu Cavemen from the Future, is written and illustrated by Pilkey, and was initially published in 2010. Pilkey initially confirmed the news in a video on his YouTube channel, which Scholastic later corroborated in a statement. The decision also includes removing and returning existing copies that are in circulation at libraries and schools.
