ABOUT THIS EPISODE
According to Bob's Burgers creator Loren Bouchard, you can either go the formal route of establishing a creative career—or just make shit. Both have their merits, to be sure. But to Bouchard, the latter is a true superpower.
Over the course of its 15-year run, Bob's Burgers has become one of the most beloved animated series on TV, following the misadventures of the working-class Belcher family as they try to keep their small business alive. But Bouchard will be the first to tell you that as a high school dropout with no formal training in animation, his path to creating a modern classic like Bob's Burgers was anything but conventional.
In this episode of Creative Control, we unpack Bouchard's unlikely journey to becoming one of animation's top showrunners, what it really takes to build work that lasts, and what keeps his creative passion burning for a project that's lasted a decade and a half.
