-->--'''Dav Pilkey's teacher''', who Dav is currently spiting with his very successful career making silly books.

* GoodBehaviorPoints: He [[https://web.archive.org/web/20090420185003/http://www.pilkey.com/bookview.php?id=43 once]] [[https://web.archive.org/web/20090401005203/http://www.pilkey.com/bookview.php?id=45 recounted]] a story from his childhood involving his teacher hanging a board with nails in it - one per student - on the classroom wall, adding bread bag clips to a nail whenever the corresponding kid performed well on schoolwork or did a good deed. As expected, this resulted in the students going out of their way to acquire more clips - particularly one classmate who was already an InsufferableGenius.[[note]]Much later, this kid would [[WriteWhoYouKnow become the inspiration behind]] Melvin, an antagonist from Dav's ''Literature/CaptainUnderpants'' books.[[/note]] Dav felt this was "too aggressive for [his] tastes" and eventually brought the system to an end by covertly tipping over the board, causing it to fall and leaving it impossible to count the bread clips properly.

* ItWillNeverCatchOn: He's quite infamously known for his bad experiences in elementary school where his hobby of drawing comics was actively discouraged by a particularly mean teacher who told him to his face that he would never make a living drawing cartoons. Of course, the existence of this page, his bibliography, and a Creator/{{Dreamworks}} [[WesternAnimation/CaptainUnderpantsTheFirstEpicMovie animated movie]] begged to differ.

* ''[[ComicBook/DavPilkeyDogMan Dog Man]]''

* StylisticSuck: His books following ''Captain Underpants'' are all done under the conceit that George and Harold were making them with as much skill and grace as you'd expect from two fourth graders.

* MyNaymeIs: His strange spelling of his first name originated from his teen years while working as a waiter at Pizza Hut where "e" in his name was accidentally omitted from his name tag. Thus, the oddly spelled nickname "Dav" stuck ever since.
