Mothering Heights (Dog Man 10): the laugh-out-loud, blockbusting full-colour graphic novel from international bestselling author Dav Pilkey: Volume 10

Product Information

Chief is the leader of the police force and one of the main protagonists, later a supporting character in the Dog Man series. In Mothering Heights, he falls in love with Nurse Lady. There’s plenty of humor, I’d say toilet humor definitely features a lot – so some parents I could see perhaps wanting their children to avoid it, but on the whole, very harmless and very funny. Hexotron-Droidformigon (also known as 80-HD/Lightning Dude as his Supa Buddies Alter-Ego) is one of the Dog Man series’ three protagonists. This mechanical fellow was created by Petey.

Dav Pilkey's wildly popular Dog Man series appeals to readers of all ages and explores universally positive themes, including love, empathy, kindness, persistence, and the importance of doing good. The protagonist and namesake of the Dog Man series, Dog Man is widely regarded as the greatest police officer in the world. Dog Man is unable to speak, but he can communicate using hand symbols, like 80-HD.

Sarah Hatoff (also known as Purse Lady) is a series supporting character. She is a news reporter from Australia who appears in all of Dog Man’s books. She is known as “the world’s greatest reporter.” Big Jim, also known as Commander Cupcake and Snug, is a character who appears in multiple episodes of the Dog Man series.

Li’l Petey (aka Cat Kid), is the deuteragonist of the Dog Man series, and the main protagonist of Cat Kid Comic Club. He is a smart yet naïve orange kitten. He is Petey’s clone/”son”, the leader of the Supa Buddies, and president of Cat Kid Comic Club. He is the 23rd youngest character, after the 22 Psychokinetic Tadpoles. Petey resides mostly in his lab (formerly called Petey's Secret Lab, which is now called Petey & Son in Fetch 22). The building contains his secret library, a bathroom, and, of course, his very huge lab, where he makes new inventions every day. He has many secret rooms in his lab, which he mentioned in Dog Man: For Whom the Ball Rolls. In Mothering Heights, it is destroyed by the Sippy Cups, and he now temporarily resides with Dog Man.

Petey was first featured in Super Diaper Baby 2, which was released before Dog Man. While the real Petey appears as one of the villains, he doesn't play a huge role in the entire story. Chief: Chief always thought Petey had a hidden good side somewhere, and he was proven right in Lord of the FLEAS.

Sarah: When he was still evil, he got past Sarah with his old lady disguise in Dog Man and Cat Kid. Post-reformation, they are now good friends, and she later interviewed him in Mothering Heights.

Dav Pilkey was born on March 4, 1966, in Cleveland, Ohio. He grew up in a working-class family and loved to read comics as a child. Dav struggled in school due to ADHD and dyslexia. In school, he was placed in special education classes as he was made to believe that he was stupid as a result of his reading problems.Stories that explore universal themes like friendship, tolerance, and the triumph of the good-hearted are woven into Dav’s semi-autobiographical works. This book, along with the rest of the series is very funny reading and kids (and adults) will love it. It’s called a graphic novel. Think comic rather than anything more adult…

Flippy: Ever since the events of A Tale of Two Kitties, Petey wasn't very fond of Flippy, calling him a 'crazy fish'. He has grown to accept the latter since the end of Fetch-22. Then the drops meshed together to reunite Rip Van Tinkle's body, while Petey stole diapers to sell to the people who got their toilets stolen. Then, when Rip Van Tinkle tried to take Petey's money, Petey soaked him up with toilet paper. Super Diaper Baby and Diaper Dog attempted to end the chaos, only for Petey to evolve the Robo Kitty 300 into the Supa-Mecha Kitty 3000. Super Diaper Baby flew away to buy catnip and pour it inside the robot's control seat. Then Petey goes crazy after a slight sniff of the catnip, detaching the Supa - Mecha Kitty 3000's head. Shortly after his plan was foiled, Petey was sentenced to jail. Grampa, also known as Crud, is the series’ primary antagonist. He is the unseen antagonistic force behind Dog Man, Dog Man: Unleashed, and Dog Man: A Tale of Two Kittens. He is the primary antagonist in Dog Man: Grime and Punishment, the secondary antagonist in Dog Man: Mothering Heights, and the series’ primary antagonist as Dog Man: For Whom the Ball Rolls. He is both the father of Pete and grandfather of Li’l Petey.The Mean Officers (the female is named Maude and the male’s name is unknown) are police officers who work alongside Dog Man and Chief, the two main officers. In Dog Man: Brawl of the Wild, they have frequently been observed bullying and antagonizing Dog Man, as well as incarcerating him once. HD: In A Tale of Two Kitties, he used 80-HD to retrieve Li'l Petey. In Grime and Punishment, 80-HD breaks three walls and the door of Petey and Son, prompting Petey to make him fix it in the next book. Once known as the World's Most Evilest Cat, Petey is now working on becoming a better version of himself. The world is spinning out of control as new villains spill into town. Everything seems dark and full of despair. But hope is not lost. Can the incredible power of love save the day?
