David "Dav" Pilkey (b.March 4 1966), is a popular children's author and artist.
Pilkey was born in Cleveland, Ohio. At the age of four, Pilkey got kicked out of "Safety School" by "hurling objects out of the window." In elementary school, he was diagnosed as suffering from Attention Deficit Disorder. In high school, Pilkey was insulted and teased by teachers about his artwork and sense of humor. When Pilkey was in university, he was scribbling cartoons in his notebook, then his professor saw the drawings and encouraged Pilkey to illustrate children's books. Pilkey wrote and illustrated his first children's book, World War Won, and got it published at the age of nineteen. He also created the Captain Underpants comics.
His odd nickname came from a spell of employment in a pizza parlor; the management spelt his name "Dav" on his card, and the mistake stuck. He published the Dumb Bunnies series of books under the nom de plume Sue Denim, a joke form of “pseudonym”.
Pilkey wrote and illustrated the popular Captain Underpants series and The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby series. He also wrote and illustrated the Dumb Bunnies series (the humorous adventures of Momma Bunny, Baby Bunny, and Poppa Bunny), and the Dragon series. He wrote (but did not illustrate) the Ricky Ricotta series.
He married in 2005 to Sayuri .

NOTE: Evidence of another new book has been found in The All New Captain Underpants Extra-Crunchy Book O' Fun 2. In the first Activity Book there was a comic in it called "Hairy Potty and the Underwear of Justice". In the second activity book there was a sequel called "The Night of the Terror of the Revenge of the Curse of the Bride of Hairy Potty". Quote: Coming Soon... From Treehouse Comix Inc. The Night of the Terror of the Dawn of the Day of the Curse of the Late-Afternoon of the Son of the Bride of Hairy Potty. So, if correct, this will lead to a third activity book.
