The Art of Bob's Burgers

by Loren Bouchard

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.

The long-awaited “The Art of Bob's Burgers™” showcases the creativity and humor that make up the beloved Emmy Award–winning series. Loren Bouchard - the series’ creator - takes you behind the scenes, revealing the inner workings of the animation process for Bob’s Burgers, from its earliest designs all the way to the modern day. A treasure trove for new and longtime fans alike, this book features many never-before-seen designs, as well as art from Loren Bouchard’s personal archives and artwork through Bob’s Burgers history of collaborations. Including insight from Supervising Director Bernard Derriman, “The Art of Bob’s Burgers™” is a celebration of everything Bob’s Burgers and a tribute to the artistry that goes into making the show a fan favorite.

Absolutely gorgeous book! I am a diehard fan of this show, and this was really up to my expectations. The images are clear and beautiful. It covers the show, but also the movie and even the comics! I might have liked a bit more descriptors through out the book, but overall this is a delight!

Would've been perfect if there was more, I wish it was more in-depth to be honest, a closer look into Gayle, Jimmy Pesto (who they kind of ignore for kind of obvious reasons but I'm still a bit upset by it), the Fichoeder family, Mickey, Zeke, marshmallow and many more characters. But I guess for the pages they were given this is perfect.

I feel disgusted by myself for never before just having paused the show to admire it

I love these guys so much, and I love them even more because they love their fans so much, what other show dedicates an entire episode and multiple pages of its book on fanart?

A fun quick read, especially as most pages are images with no text. Surprised that there aren't at least notations of, say, which specialty sets go with which episodes. There are behind-the-scenes insights from the creators here and there, but maybe the most amusing bits to read are the within-image sections from the promotional posters and such. And it brought a smile to my face to see the spread of (every?) incidental character in one spread, as well as seeing that each episodes gets its own script cover drawing.
Downside: I've now found myself wanting to collect Burobu cards...

A near perfect look at the art of Bobs Burgers. The book touches upon everything from the original designs to the comics to the movie and various promotional posters etc The write ups, as standard for these types of books, are very brief and as always I would’ve loved a little more insights etc
This is very much a ‘must read’ for any fan of the show!

I adore Bob's Burgers and loved every single page of this beautiful book. I was smiling the entire time. A must have, great gift, for any Bob Burger fan! So many gorgeous artistic photos from a variety of their best episodes, plus behind the scenes early drawings and story boards for each character and scenes.

As a fan of the show, I was very excited when this project was announced and I’m sad to say the end result was disappointing. While it’s great to enjoy the art in a physical way, the book lacked a lot of in-depth details and stories behind the show. You don’t really get a look behind the curtain as much as you do a fun coffee table book.

I would’ve liked a few more facts and tidbits about the show BUT the art is amazing.

As an animation nerd it’s fun to see what the show became based on old sketches/doodles.

You’re here prob asking yourself “is it worth $30?” YES “are the pictures vibrant and stunning?” YES “are there little snippets and details from the creators?” YES

All Bobs burgers fans should just add this one to their collection
