David "Dav" Pilkey (b.March 4 1966), is a popular children's author and artist.
Pilkey was born in Toronto, Ontario. In elementary school, he was diagnosed as suffering from AD/HD. In high school, Pilkey was insulted and teased by teachers about his artwork and sense of humor. After entering Kent State University, Pilkey's cartoon scribblings in his notebook caught the attention of a professor, who then encouraged Pilkey to illustrate children's books. Eventually, 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 Hut. The management spelled his name "Dav" and the mistake stuck.
Pilkey wrote and illustrated the popular Captain Underpants series and The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby series when he was 12 years old. 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.[1]
