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.

From RICKY RICOTTA'S MIGHTY ROBOT VS. THE NAUGHTY NIGHTCRAWLERS FROM NEPTUNERicky Ricotta and his Mighty Robot sat on the front steps of their house. They were bored."We are going shopping," said Ricky's mother. "I don't want you boys making a mess while we are gone!""A mess?" said Ricky. "When have we ever made a mess?""Every time you jump in a mud puddle, you make a big mess," said Ricky's mother. "Oh, yeah," said Ricky."And every time you climb a tree, you make a big mess!" said Ricky's mother."Oh, yeah," said Ricky."And every time you chew bubble gum, you make a big mess!" said Ricky's mother. "Oh, yeah," said Ricky."I know," said Ricky's father. "Why don't you boys build a fort?" "A fort?" said Ricky."Yes," said Ricky's father. "You can use tree branches or cardboard boxes or even old pieces of metal and wood to make a fort!""That sounds like fun," said Ricky."Great!" said Ricky's father. "Just remember, you must clean up after yourselves when you are done playing.""We will," said Ricky."Good-bye," said Ricky's mother. "And remember: NO MESSES!"
