H. Jon Benjamin also voices a number of recurring and guest characters, including (but certainly not limited to) Ms. LaBonz, Peter Pescadero, Aunt Frida, Kuchikopi, Bakeneko, Big Bob Belcher, Burgerboss, Debbie, Ed Samuels, Fletcher, Godfrey, Gus, Jim Skillman, Large Tommy, Marco, Matt, Miss Schraeder, Nick, Pocket Sized Rudy, Sam, Sandra, Scooper, Scot, Sidecar, Tom Selleck and Xander.

Why does Louise from Bob's Burgers wear a hat?
FOX
From the first episode of Bob's Burgers, Louise has worn her famous bunny ears hat, even to go to bed. The movie revealed that she received the hat as a gift for being brave on her first day of preschool, and the hat is made from a hat Bob's mother wore. Louise almost never removes her bunny ears and gets very upset if they are taken off her.
Do they ever show Louise without her hat?
FOX
Technically speaking, Louise has been shown without her hata few times, but the key word is few—and they've been far between as well. Bullies and other students have taken the hat off of her. In those situations, however, she will put another item on her head and the top of her head has not been revealed on the show.
Why don't they age in Bob's Burgers?
FOX
Like most cartoons, the characters on Bob's Burgers do not age at a regular pace. Despite the show having multiple Christmas, Halloween and Thanksgiving episodes, the children have all remained the same age. Bob's age has jumped around a bit, but generally speaking, he has remained the same age for the show's run. This is done to make things easy on animators, who would have to constantly alter the children's appearance if they aged at a normal pace.

What grade is Louise Belcher in?
