Dav Pilkey has been writing hilarious fun adventures for a decade now, Dav is the creator of Captain Underpants, brings you the fourth installment in his Dog man series. Imagine my glee when, a decade later, I find a comic book by the same authors in the university bookstore. This was hilarious and as always I loved Petey. Petey is my favorite but I also loved Li'l Petey in this. Art was good. I can't wait to read the next in the series. While Mrs. Suspicionflame sings, Lil Petey removes the wig off her head, revealing that Mrs. Suspicionflame is actually Petey in disguise and continues to fix 80-HD. Petey discovers that 80-HD has solar panels and no missiles. LP explains that 80-HD doesn't need missiles, because he thinks 80-HD is his friend, but Petey claims that 80-HD is not his friend. 80-HD obeys Li'l Petey, but it doesn't mean it his friend, Petey states. Petey wants to have a talk with Li'l Petey, and he'll buy him some ice cream.

Meanwhile, Petey has escaped from cat jail and created a clone of himself, expecting that the clone will become his trusted butler. Instead, Petey creates a kitten. Petey expects Li'l Petey to become a villain, but Li'l Petey is kind and good. Petey abandons Li'l Petey, and Dog Man takes the kitten. Later, Petey feels bad for his actions and actually puts himself in danger to save Li'l Petey and Dog Man from Flippy and his army of beastly buildings. By the time Li'l Petey helps Flippy become good, Dog Man arrests Petey for escaping from jail. Petey is trying to make his son turn evil, and Sarah reports the first shooting of The Dog-Man. Then come Ding-Dong Magoo as Dog Man, Yolay Caprese as Sarah, Samson J. Johnson as "Chief", and Scooter McRibs as Petey. The Crew shows Mrs. Suspicionflame and Sarah, and Li'l Petey and Zuzu around. Mrs. Suspicionflame (Petey), had made Sarah look out to steal the remote after the guy leaves for lunch. Petey dumped the old lady disguise and created a really evil costume for him and Li'l Petey. That was the origin of "Cat Kid". In college, Dav met a teacher who encouraged him to write and illustrate for kids. He took her advice and created his first book, World War Won, which won a national competition in 1986. Dav made many other books before being awarded the California Young Reader Medal for Dog Breath (1994) and the Caldecott Honor for The Paperboy (1996).While Dog Man leaves for work, Li'l Petey mistakes Mrs. Suspicionflame as his papa. The lady says she is not his papa. She says she can sing songs about how much fun it is to clean up his room and stuff. Li'l Petey demands her to prove it and sing to him.

Sam shows Dog Man a picture of actress Yolay Caprese, when suddenly, Yolay enters. Sam introduces Yolay to Chief and Dog Man. Yolay sends Dog Man to become her bodyguard and she'll reward him with tummy rubs. Yolay leads the group to the movie studio, while Dog Man intentionally swallows Yolay's picture, much to Chief's dismay. Finishing this book as solidified my previous statement of this being a work of art. The simplistic art melded with wonderful storytelling really made this a favorite. Cat Kids villain arc and subsequent redemption arc has to be one of my favorite developments in fiction. I truly felt hatred for Petey and his manipulation of Cat Kid. Emotions were conveyed incredibly and made me feel for each and every one of the characters, especially Dog Man when he was called a “bad boy” (which he is not, of course). Dog Mans emotional expression was one of my favorites, he doesn’t talk so it’s all conveyed through body language and expression, and it is done so artfully. I also believe this book handles social issues well, including the sexism Yolay experienced at the hand of the director and Peteys negative view of robots. This book was also very inclusive of all different types of species (people, italians, cats, dogs, robots). I really loved Cat Kids and 80-HDs relationship and development as well. The lesson at the end of the book almost made me tear up. This book is appropriate for young children because there are few words. I think the illustrations of this book are great for children because they are not the most extravagant. I also think this book allows children to open their creative mind. Will these heroes stay hot on the trail, or will they be thrown off the scent and start barking up the wrong tree?Dog Man: A Tale of Two Kitties and Cat Kid Summary & Study Guide includes comprehensive information and analysis to Dog Man is one of the best comedic graphic novel series ever written.
