Dad reads Send For A Superhero! to Elmer and Emily. When Filth and Vacuum attack, Brad 40 is in class.

Indexer Notes

Dad reads this very book to the children. The frame story is in picture-book form, but the main story is a comic story. Illustrations are in mixed media, rendered digitally. Shannon Book, Kosmik, and True Crimes type fonts were used. The creators live in England, and while the book is published in the U.S., the mayor wears a chain of office and other accoutrements found formally in England.
