About the Author

When Dav Pilkey was a kid, he was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. Dav was so disruptive in class that his teachers made him sit out in the hallway every day. Luckily, Dav loved to draw and make up stories. He spent his time in the hallway creating his own original comic books -- the very first adventures of Dog Man and Captain Underpants. In the second grade, Dav's teacher ripped up his comics and told him he couldn't spend the rest of his life making silly books. Fortunately, Dav was not a very good listener.

Read an Excerpt

“What's that noise?”“I didn't hear anything,” said George.They listened closely.“Shhh!” said Harold. “There it is again!”George heard it this time. He reached over and opened the tree house door a crack. All they could hear was the sound of crickets chirping in the night. George opened the door wider, and the boys peeked down.“AAAUUGH!” roared an evil-looking woman dressed in tight purple vinyl and a mangy-looking fake-fur boa.George and Harold screamed in horror!The snarling woman climbed from the ladder into the tree house. George andHarold recognized her immediately in the moonlight.“Ms. Ribble,” George gasped. “What a lovely, uh, outfit you have on.”“Who's Ms. Ribble?” the angry lady growled. “My name is Wedgie Woman!!!”George and Harold looked at each other and swallowed hard.“I understand that you boys have information about Captain Underpants,” said Wedgie Woman.“What makes you say that?” asked Harold.“I've read your comic books,” said the evil villain. “You boys know his strengths, his weaknesses, and I'll bet you even know his SECRET IDENTITY!”“No way!” said George. “Captain Underpants isn't real . . . He-He's just a cartoon!”“We'll see about that,” Wedgie Woman scoffed.
