This was an enjoyable read! The simple yet effective art style works great for the short but sweet comics, all very relatable and sure to make you smile if you're a fan of Anderson's previous books in this set. As always I am a fan of the comics about cats! I am likely to keep picking up any other books I see by this author when I'm in the mood for a fun, light read.

Diving into the world of "Oddball" by Sarah Andersen is like stepping into a rainbow-hued carnival of humor and heart. Sarah has once again sprinkled her magical touch over a collection of comic strips that not only tickle the funny bone but also celebrate the beauty of being our wonderfully unique, quirky selves. It's a five-star romp that left me with a perpetual grin and a newfound appreciation for life's oddities.

Sarah's Scribbles takes us on a delightful journey through the evils of procrastination, the chaotic trials of the creative process, the undeniable cuteness of kittens, and the liberating beauty of not giving a hoot about our appearance. With each doodle, Andersen effortlessly captures the awkward hilarity of millennial life, and "Oddball" is a glorious testament to her mastery of this craft.

The art style is a playful dance of whimsy and simplicity. Andersen's illustrations, like old friends, welcome you with open arms. The characters are charmingly expressive, making every comic strip a relatable snapshot of the absurdity and charm of daily existence. The vibrant hues and dynamic visuals elevate the humor, creating an immersive experience that transcends the confines of the page.

The characters in "Oddball" are the kind of companions you wish you had in your daily life. Their quirks and antics mirror our own, reminding us that it's perfectly fine to embrace the oddities that make us unique. Sarah Andersen's keen observations of human behavior and her ability to turn them into bite-sized comic gems are nothing short of genius.

The genre, a delightful blend of humor and slice-of-life, ensures that "Oddball" is a universal delight. Whether you're a seasoned fan of Sarah's Scribbles or a newcomer to her whimsical world, this book is a joyous celebration of the quirks that make us human.

Sarah Andersen has done it again with "Oddball." Her comics are not just humorous sketches; they are mirrors reflecting the delightful chaos of our lives. This collection, in particular, encourages us to revel in our uniqueness and find joy in the peculiarities that set us apart. I eagerly anticipate more of her future creations, for each one is a treasure trove of giggles and genuine warmth.

I rarely read comics, but Oddball was so funny I have to say I'm starting to like the genre. The comic is mostly aimed at Generation Z, but I think the slightly older age group will also find it entertaining. The drawings are simple, but still iconic and unmistakable. I recommend the comic to cat-loving readers, but to anyone open to fooling around. Thanks to NetGalley for the publication!

I've always enjoyed the goofy art of Sarah Andersen. She's like the millennial artist who expresses the inner goofy and young of all of us.

Thank you for the ARC of this title. She is such a charming, clever, relatable illustrator. Read the arc and purchased as gifts because it's brilliant.

another solid collection from Sarah Andersen. if you've read and enjoyed her previous volumes, you will likely enjoy this one as well. the main difference between this and previous volumes is a slightly subdued tone, maybe more sadness/ acknowledgement of mental health issues and less laugh out loud jokes. which totally makes sense in the age of COVID. there's some references to 2020 and the way that the past few years have altered our world, but it's not heavy-handed.

If you haven't read any of Sarah's Scribbles, especially if you're a white millennial woman who has always felt weird/ had mental health struggles, these comics are a humorous, mostly light-hearted easy-reading way to feel seen and laugh at the complexities of life. or to just share a chuckle with those of us who do feel this way.

Thank you to Andrews McMeel Publishing and #NetGalley for a digital advanced copy.

ODDBALL is a fun, loveable, and relatable collection of comics about creators, artists, and authors. It's about living with pets, anxiety, friendships, and surviving ourselves.

Some of my favorite comics:

"Suddenly Finding a New Obsession"
The accuracy of loving something or fixating on something that it becomes your whole personality

Another Good One:
"So I didn't do that thing."
"Neither did I"
"Failure Solidarity" with a big hug

The books ends with my favorite comic of the book. "One Year"
Taking it and making it one baby step at a time.

Because of problems with my computer and e-reader my I didn't read the book and my copy has expired.

More relatable scribbles from Sarah Andersen, Oddball is a parade of comics about accepting your weirdness and being creative.

Note: I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley. I was not compensated in any other fashion for the review and the opinions reflected below are entirely my own. Special thanks to the publisher and author for providing the copy.

To me, Sarah Andersen's work feels especially representative of the "millennial condition" (lol). I'm glad to see her creating again and I really enjoyed my time with "Oddball". I'd recommend this to anyone who has enjoyed Andersen's work in the past.

This is a cute series of cartoons that are. quirky, fun, and engaging. Both my teenager and I enjoy Sarah Anderson's "Sarah Scribbles" books. This is well worth the time!. My favorite has to be her look forward at aging millennials. It took me a second because I thought, "I can understand that perfectly," then I realized where she was going with it. Very funny! Highly recommend!

This book is so funny and relatable to my awkward, introverted, cat-loving, self-critical, weird millennial self. Sometimes these kind of collections can get repetitive and boring but this is an absolute banger.

Always love reading books by Sarah Andersen, so fun and enjoyable. This one is no exception. Can't wait to read more from her..

As is always the case with Sarah Andersen's work, this was the perfect, light read to breeze my way through on an entirely too hot afternoon!

Sarah’s Scribbles is a comic series – online, and a set of books – celebrating life as an awkward nerd. Something I can entirely get behind! :)

The simple style of the artwork perfectly captures the humour in various, relatable situations. Although there’s no overarching ‘story’, there are recurring themes, including cat ownership, being an introvert, and geeky hobbies. (I cannot tell you how much the I ❤ Frogs strip is just .. me! 🙂 )

If I have any complaints is that there’s not a great deal of material for a review. It’s just… comic strips! Fun ones! Geeky ones! Relatable ones! There’s even a little bit of topicality, given that this was published at the end of 2021, so the pandemic gets a brief mention.

Absolutely recommended, especially for the geeks in your life and anyone who needs a giggle (and who doesn’t, these days?!).
