Dav Pilkey

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.

Cuando Dav Pilkey era niño, le diagnosticaron TDAH y dislexia. Dav era tan disruptivo en clase que sus maestros lo hacían sentarse en el pasillo todos los días. Por suerte, a Dav le encantaba dibujar e inventar historias. Pasaba su tiempo en el pasillo creando sus propios cómics originales: las primeras aventuras de Hombre Perro y el Capitán Calzoncillos. En segundo grado, la maestra de Dav rompió sus cómics y le dijo que no podía pasar el resto de su vida haciendo libros tontos. Afortunadamente, Dav no era muy bueno escuchando.
