(4) K-3 Elderly tailor Mr. Frank works on "an outfit that made all the others rather dull." The others include WWII uniforms, dapper fifties-era suits, bell-bottoms, and pieces only adults will appreciate; the big reveal adds the kid-appeal: Mr. Frank has made a superhero costume for his grandson. Luxbacher's graphite drawings with mixed-media touches for fabric, wallpaper, etc. have an ethereal quality.
