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.
レビュー-
A sixth "EPIC tale of Glorious Ginormity!!!" featuring good guys, bad guys, many poop jokes, and a "molto arrabbiato" "clay monster guy."A bit of dog-sledding is the only direct crib from the classic referred to in the title--but themes of loyalty and of oddballs bonding together crop up occasionally. Otherwise, George and Harold's latest comic pits costumed "supa buddies" ("We fight for freedom--that's our duty... / ...so everybody shake your booty!") and other allies against a trio of flea-sized villains using a stolen can of "supa evil living spray" to frame Dog Man for a bank robbery and to turn a clay figure from a new Dog Man movie into a rampaging (if eminently sliceable) monster. Meanwhile, in an ongoing subplot, angelic cloned mini-me Li'l Petey continues to chip away at his supervillain parent Petey's conviction that once a bad guy, always a bad guy. Also meanwhile, to counter Dog Man's depression at being neither entirely human nor entirely dog (which is true), his friends gather at the end for a triumphal "March of the Misfits." All in all, a typical wild free-for-all punctuated by Flip-O-Rama and, for special treats, occasional "Hurl-O-Rama" set pieces.Ginormous fun...with sneaky food for thought and, as usual, step-by-step drawing instructions at the end. (Graphic science fiction. 7-10)
