Quotes by Dav Pilkey

“I thought it was the coolest thing on TV,”

“The show was really funny and charming, ... And I loved how it seemed like it was just thrown together at the last minute.”

“Theyre fantastic, ... Theyre really funny and silly and catchy and obnoxious in the best possible way. They have that wonderful energy and spontaneity that Josh seems to bring to everything. Theyre PERFECT!”

“I guess Im the only guy in the world who would listen to those incredibly offensive songs and think, Hey, that guy should be making music for kids, ... But thats what I thought.”

“I had A.D.D., ... I had a lot of trouble, um... what was the question again?”

“It was there in the hall that I began drawing Captain Underpants, ... Soon I was making my own comic books about him.”

“Ive learned never to underestimate the sense of humor of a kid, ... But does it matter if the joke flies over a kids head? No. As long as my girlfriend thinks its funny, it stays.”

A book without potty humor is like a banana split without hot fudge. It can still be good, I suppose, but you kinda get the feeling that something is missing.

It used to take me forever to read and comprehend stuff, so I decided not to make the Captain Underpants books too challenging. Dont get me wrong - the humor and ideas are often sophisticated - but the books arent hard to read. I wanted kids who hate reading to find these books irresistible.
