Description
The jewel in the crown of the Bob’s Burgers library: the long-awaited official book on the creation and artistry behind the beloved Emmy Award–winning animated series. The long-running and beloved animated series Bob’s Burgers centers on patriarch Bob, who runs his business with his wife, porcelain baby collector and dinner-theater enthusiast Linda; with help or distraction from their teenage daughter Tina, who is obsessed with boys and horses; their son Gene, who is only afraid of snakes; and their youngest daughter Louise, who never, ever takes off her bunny ears. For this special book, the show’s original creator, Loren Bouchard, lifts the curtain to reveal every facet of the Bob’s Burgers world, from its earliest conception and the inspirations he took from his own life to the industry and magic behind the animation, and the intricacy and pathos in the show’s cast of characters. With insight from art director Phil Hayes and the animation team, as well as from Loren’s team of writers, the book explores everything from the creation of Ocean Avenue, Wonder Wharf, and the town to the writing process itself. The book is a treasure trove for fans, with hundreds of never-before-seen images alongside the stories, including photographs and sketches from Loren’s archives, animation cells, and objects from the tremendous archive of Bob’s Burgers collaborations. Moving chronologically from the creation of the show through its remarkable fifteen seasons, and culminating in the critically acclaimed movie that premiered in 2022, the book is at once a celebration of some of the most memorable television in recent history, and a look behind the scenes at a work of a comedy genius.
