Mik Davies
Mik Davies was the author of the Underpants Bandits series, about 2 boys stealing historical undergarments.
Role
He is mentioned in Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul when Greg is given an assignment to pick an author to write about. All of Greg's classmates, especially the boys chose him to write to, but the teacher Mrs. Terry made them pick someone else. On the eightteenth of August, Greg wrote to him saying "I'm just writing to tell you, don't listen to these people who say your books are garbage, because they don't know what they're talking about. I know a bunch of kids (including me) who think your books are great. As far as the "rude humor" goes, I find that stuff hilarious, so please don't change a thing. In fact, I would encourage you to put MORE bodily functions and things of that nature in your books. Sincerley, Greg Heffley. About two hundred days later, Mik wrote back saying "Dear friend, Unfortunately I get so much fan mail that I'm not able to answer your letter personally. But I did want to tell you to be on the lookout for "Underpants Bandits 24: Lincoln's Longjohn's", coming soon to stores near you! Lots of yuks, Mik."
