'Bob's Burgers' creator and animator dish on new book and show's 300th episode milestone
Loren Bouchard and Bernard Derriman explain giving fans an inside look at the origins and creative process of "Bob's Burgers."
WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. -- "Bob's Burgers" creator Loren Bouchard and animator Bernard Derriman are offering fans of the hit series an inside look at the show's origins with their new book, "The Art of Bob's Burgers."
While chatting with On The Red Carpet at Book Soup in West Hollywood, the creatives revealed why they wanted to make this book. "It's something Loren and I spoke about for ages. We've always wanted to do one. And, then we really wanted to do one for the movie. And unfortunately, we just never got around to it. We're too busy making the show. So, this was just a great opportunity to do everything we've done on the show from the very start, and also include all the stuff we did on the movie, which is awesome," Derriman said. Bouchard loves books and wanted a physical object fans could hold in their hand in addition to watching their favorite characters on screen.
Bouchard also teased what fans might learn by picking up the book, "Even if you're a big fan, you might not know about the comic books, or you might not have seen some of these one-offs that we did for posters."
"The Art of Bob's Burgers" isn't the only recent milestone for the "Bob's Burgers" universe, the series just celebrated its 300th episode with the season 16 premiere!
"We're all just so lucky that it has gone this long. I came over from Australia to work on the show, but I never imagined I would be... I thought I might have worked on ten different shows, and pretty much I'm still here on the same show. We're just so lucky here. It's great," Derriman explained. Bouchard echoed his colleague's sentiments, "You can dream. You can wish, but you can't expect this sort of luck. You got to just be grateful for it."
"The Art of Bob's Burgers" is available for purchase now.
All fifteen seasons of "Bob's Burgers" are streaming now on Hulu, with new episodes also dropping on Mondays.
The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of Hulu and this ABC station.
