Richard Thompson: 2011 National Book Festival
Cartoonist Richard Thompson appears at the 2011 National Book Festival.

Speaker Biography: The most recent Reuben Award, cartooning's equivalent of the Oscar, went to Richard Thompson, creator of "Cul de Sac," a strip born in The Washington Post seven years ago featuring the Otterloop family. Thompson also draws the "Richard's Poor Almanac" cartoon, and his new book is "Shapes & Colors: A Cul de Sac Collection" (Andrews McMeel Publishing). Bill Watterson, creator of the much-missed and still-beloved strip "Calvin and Hobbes," says of "Cul de Sac": "The strip has a unique and honest voice, a seemingly intuitive feel for what comics do best … a very funny intelligence. … It's a wonderful surprise to see that this level of talent is still out there, and that a strip like this is still possible."

Rachel Renee Russell: 2011 National Book Festival
Rachel Renee Russell appears at the 2011 National Book Festival.

Speaker Biography: Rachel Renee Russell is an attorney who prefers writing tween books to legal briefs. (Mainly because books are a lot more fun and pajamas and bunny slippers aren't allowed in court.) Her hobbies include growing purple flowers and doing totally useless crafts (like, for example, making a microwave oven out of Popsicle sticks, glue and glitter). She is the author of the popular "Dork Diaries" series, and her latest book is "Dork Diaries 3: Tales from a Not-So-Talented Pop Star."
