48 free Dog Man trivia questions with answers. Dog Man started as a kindergarten doodle by George and Harold and became the best-selling comic in America. This Dog Man trivia quiz is for the kids who have read every book twice (and the grown-ups who have read them aloud): how Officer Knight and Greg became one hero, why Petey is the world's most evilest cat, where Li'l Petey and 80-HD came from, what Flippy the fish is plotting, and what happens in Unleashed, A Tale of Two Kitties, Lord of the Fleas, Fetch-22, Grime and Punishment, Mothering Heights, The Scarlet Shedder and the Big Jim books. It also covers Cat Kid Comic Club, the musical, the video game, the DreamWorks movie with Pete Davidson and Ricky Gervais, and Dav Pilkey himself, from the school hallway where he dreamed up Captain Underpants to his pen name Sue Denim. Most questions are easy enough for readers aged 7 to 12; a handful will test true Supa Buddies. Everything is kid-safe, and every answer is checked against a cited source shown under the question.
