Dav Pilkey is an American children’s author and illustrator best known for creating Captain Underpants, Dog Man, and Cat Kid Comic Club. His books mix comic-book energy, slapstick humor, visual jokes, handwritten gags, and fast-paced adventure with... a serious respect for children’s creativity. Pilkey has often connected his childhood experiences with ADHD and dyslexia to the imagination behind his work, especially the classroom-born comics that eventually led to his most famous characters. Captain Underpants made him a favorite among young and reluctant readers, while Dog Man and Cat Kid Comic Club expanded his reach through graphic-novel storytelling. His appeal lies in making reading feel playful, welcoming, and empowering for kids who think, draw, joke, and learn in their own way.
