It is unknown why she didn't become a frog like her siblings, but it may be because she still has her psychokinetic powers. Dav Pilkey is the author and illustrator of the Dog Manseries. You may recognize his name from another popular children’s series: Captain Underpants, which follows the misadventures of students George and Harold as they fight crime with their school principal-turned-superhero. Dog Man: Fetch-22 got its name because in the book, there are 22 tiny tadpoles which have roles as former antagonists in the book. It is also a reference to Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. You may notice a theme in this list: many of thetitles are allusions to classic literary works. And who said that comics couldn’t be educational? Who Wrote the Dog Man Books?

She may look like a tadpole, but she identifies as a baby frog. Her superpower is psychokinesis, which means that she can move things with her mind. The Scarlet Shedder: [ ] The villain Petey the cat is trying to turn over a new life and be a force for good instead of a force for evil, mostly motivated by a desire to live up to the confidence of his son, an immature clone of himself, known as Lil’ Petey. Lil’ Petey is a good-hearted scamp who is now in shared custody between Petey and Petey’s nemesis Dog-Man who is half-dog half-cop (Lil’ Petey and Dog Man are also members of a superhero group the Supa Buddies with the third member being the robot 80HD). But Lil’ Petey’s faith in humanity has been shaken. For Whom the Ball Rolls: Dog Man is out of jail and determined to make the most of his freedom. But when a new supervillain comes after him when he’s at his weakest, it will take the help of his friends to save the day. The chapter opens with The Fair Fairy at the television studio with Sam E. Hamilton. Sam says she's a horrible employee, and fires her, much to the Fair Fairy’s anger. Meanwhile, Lil' Petey is researching about Supa Brain Dots, and discovers that they contain a chemical called GR-2, and if you take too much of it, you get supa angry! Lil' Petey says that proves that Flippy, the bionic butterfly fish was innocent. Petey objects, but Lil' Petey already sent his research to Sarah Hatoff and that she will make a news story about it. While Petey puts up new letters that read Petey & Son, Lil' Petey wants to see Grampa, Petey's father. But Petey had made up his mind he says "WE ARE NOT VISITING YOUR GRAMPA AND THAT'S FINAL!!!!". Chapter 4: Visiting Grampa [ ] Petey the Cat: Petey is a grumpy, evil cat whose plans often involve taking over the world. He spends much of his time inventing contraptions in his secret lab.

She appears later in the book, being taught adverbs alongside her siblings. She helps Li'l Petey, 80-HD, and her siblings draw on Munchy and scare him away. She subsequently saves Dog Man, Chief, Sarah, and Zuzu along with Flippy.

She and Li'l Petey made a comic called Wally's World in Dog Man: Twenty Thousand Fleas Under the Sea. Sarah Hatoff: Sarah is a news reporter who brings stories about superheroes to the public. Whenever she goes on an adventure with Dog Man, she’s sure to tell all about it on her blog the next day. She worked at Gassy Behemoth Studios, acting as Fair Fairy. She was the company's worst employee, as she would tell lies, steal other people's food, and be rude to the staff. We believe short fiction publishing is not a zero sum game–one publication’s success helps the short fiction publishing community and we should help boost each other! 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).

Molly's birth mother is unknown, but when the Fair Fairy came, she assumed she was her mom. Eventually, when the Fair Fairy tried to get her and the other 22 tadpoles to stop calling her "Mommy", Dog Man accidentally sent a wagon full of all the Supa Brain Dots in the city rolling down a hill and into the pond. The Supa Brain Dots then gives Molly and the other tadpoles mind powers. The Fair Fairy teams up with them to take over the city, because the Supa Brain Dots also made Molly and the Tadpoles evil, too. Later in the book, she meets Cat Kid, who tries to get her to not be evil by befriending her. Molly then agrees to be friends, and becomes good from that point onward, and even joins Cat Kid's Comic Club. This psychokinetic baby frog has the ability to move things with her brain. But her greatest superpower may be her ability to irritate grownups. Personality [ ] Molly and Melvin's Siblings are the former secondary antagonists of Dog Man: Fetch-22. They later appear in Dog Man: Grime and Punishment as (grown to baby frog size except for Molly) frogs learning about adverbs, as minor characters, and the secondary tritagonists of the Cat Kid Comic Club (book). Meanwhile, in Fish Jail, Flippy was reading a story to the other fish, recalling the events from " Dog Man: A Tale of Two Kitties". After he was done an officer came and tells Flippy the mayor is on the phone, and the mayor tells Flippy due to Li'l Petey's research in proving Flippy innocent, he is now free. As the officer brings Flippy over to fill out the paperwork, breaking news appears on the TV that happens to be in the fish jail building. In the broadcast, Sarah reports on the Barky McTreeFace Crisis, and the 22 tadpoles controlling it. When asking Chief how it happened, he tries to pin it on Dog Man, but Sarah tells Chief it's his fault, too (due to the fact he told Sarah what could go wrong with Dog Man in charge of collecting the Supa Brain Dots earlier in Chapter 4). In response to this, Chief tells Sarah mistakes were made and he puts Dog Man in charge of fetching those 22 tadpoles, and hence, sends Dog Man out. But Sarah tells Chief to help Dog Man. He agrees but asks who will help him. Sarah and Zuzu look at each other, and Sarah tells Zuzu it's up to them and follows Chief and Dog Man. As Chief this is going to be great, the officer in the fish jail and Flippy look at each other in despair.

While Petey's re-evaluated what matters most, Li'l Petey is struggling to find the good in the world. After she was fired, the Fair Fairy came to a pond near a tree plotting her revenge. Suddenly, she heard a voice from the pond, and met the 22 tadpoles. Said tadpoles almost immediately imprinted on her, and started calling her "Mommy". Enraged, the Fair Fairy left in a huff, but the tadpoles started following her, after developing psychokinetic powers from overdosing on Supa Brain Dots. Molly is the vice president of the club, with Li'l Petey as the president, who are both working on their comic, Squid Kid and Katydid. Chief: Chief is the leader of the city police department. He has a hot temper but, underneath his fiery personality, he cares a lot about his friends.

During the morning at Dog Man's house, Li'l Petey sprints upstairs and tells Dog Man and 80-HD that the show, " The Fair Fairy" is about to start, so they all start running for the TV and sit down to watch it. Downward Dog (The Fair Fairy's Puppet) Starts to Tell the Fair Fairy about a bungle last week where the Fair Fairy went bonkers and smashed a couple of bowls filled with ice cream, sending two kids running for their life. Even though the Fair Fairy claims it will not happen again, She goes bonkers again and smashes a kid's toy, forcing Dog Man to turn off the television, because the show feels like a horror movie. Li'l Petey asks Dog Man, "Was that show inappropriate?" Chapter 2: Shared Custody [ ]
