Walking and Talking With . . . Dav Pilkey

November 30, 2015 by Betsy Bird   6 comments

Such a treat! So I’m finally reading Steve Sheinkin’s latest nonfiction work, Most Dangerous, and then out of the blue he sends me the latest in his “Walking and Talking” series. Dav Pilkey, Mr. Captain Underpants himself, is today’s subject. Fun Pilkey Fact You Never Knew: He has exquisite taste in cakes. True fact!

    Another great comic from the incredible Mr. Sheinkin.
    Can’t wait for the upcoming MT Anderson conversation!

    More proof that Sheinkin is a genius in all that he does. The visual joke on the sandwich board is pitch-perfect.

    Great interview!

    (On a side note, I just finished MOST DANGEROUS. What an exciting, compelling read! I’m giving it to my 90-year old dad for Christmas. shhhhhhhh)

    50 rejections! Well, I’m glad he kept going. Plus, love Steve Sheinkin’s books!
