Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Given the limitless freedom of animation, why would anyone use it
to make a sitcom about a struggling family-owned burger place? And
why would audiences embrace this greasy fantasy, not just by tuning
in but by permanently decorating their legs and arms with images
from the show and writing detailed backstories for its minor
characters? This book-length critical study of Bob's Burgers
examines the moments in which the animated sitcom exposes the
chasms between generations, explores gender and sexual identity,
and allows fans to imagine a better world. Essays cover how the
show can be read as a series of critiques of Steven Spielberg's
early blockbusters, a rejection of Freudian psychology, or an
examination of the artificiality of gendered behaviors through the
cross-casting of characters like Tina and Linda. By tracing the
ways that the popular reception of Bob's Burgers reflects changing
cultural attitudes, the essays provoke broader questions about the
responsibility of popular entertainment to help audiences conceive
of fantasies closer to home: fantasies of loving and accepting
parents, of creative, self-assured children, and of menus filled
with artisanal puns.
