Laurie Sandell

I just got a message from the woman running the Eisner Awards; I am supposed to give her ideas for a “theme song” that they will play whenever I and my co-presenter, Carol Tyler, come up onstage. Carol’s graphic memoir is also about her dad and his life during WWII, which he rarely spoke about. She is an amazing and well-respected underground comics creator whom I met at The Miami Book Fair last year; Robert Crumb said of her, “Hers are the only comics that ever brought me to the verge of tears.”

Which is all very cool, but how do you come up with a song that properly represents two books with titles like “The Impostor’s Daughter” and “You’ll Never Know: A Good and Decent Man”? Any ideas? Accepting all suggestions!
