Oddball by Sarah Andersen is another set of amazing comics. The comics are completely relatable and very funny.

I always have so much fun reading Sarah's short comics, they are such a joy, it’s impossible not to have a good time reading them.
It’s really incredible how she can create scenarios so relatable to every type of person, it’s a gift.
This book it’s a compilations of a lot of Sarah’s short comics I was expecting a bit more of a continuation between them but ever page it’s a different story, so in the bright side you get a lot of new fun situations but on the bad side they are really short.
Either way, I guarantee people are going to love this book!

Absolutely delightful. As a millenial and catlover you will relate A LOT. I laughed a couple of times and even got my husband to show him a few comics. Great, great fun and highly recommended!

"Oddball" is a short but delightful read filled with Andersen's cute art style and millennial humor. I've been a fan of hers for a while and I'm glad to see another fun collection come out that's geared towards the strange and weird in all of us! I love that amidst the silly and somewhat dark humor she has comics that are heartfelt and hopeful. If you're a fan of her previous works then this is one to add to your collection!

Mais um livro da Sarah Andersen com tirinhas divertidas e que causam identificação com os leitores - eu mesma me identifico demais por também ser uma pessoa introvertida.

Brilliant. Sarah's work is so relatable, and I feel so seen whenever I read it (perhaps TOO seen...). I laughed out loud on most pages, or said 'awwh' at the surprisingly touching moments. Just love this. (sad to miss out on the stickers though.)

3.5 stars
There's not much to say about this. It was good, but also boring. Past collections of this artist/author have been better. Only really liked a few of the comic "strips" in this. Kind of feel like she's running out of ideas/material.

Hilarious, relatable, and the art are adorable !
Oddball is an interesting collection of comic strips about being a cat parent, an introvert, and having equally weird friends. If that doesn't describe who I am right now, I don't know what will.
If you're looking for something funny to just take your mind off of things, then this book is a perfect fit !

Sarah Andersen remains one of my favorite comic artists. Her comics are both relatable and hilarious and at almost everyone I see myself in them. I highly recommend Oddball along with all of her other books. I cannot wait to see what else she comes out with in the future.

Sarah Andersen comics are my favorite kind of comics. Mostly because they are way too relatable for me, and there is just so much humor! I laughed out loud a lot. The topics vary from cats/pets, being different/introverted, friendships and daily life as a millennial, pop culture and preaches a bit of self care and kindness. I loved it and I’ll definitely read it again. Over and over again probably lol! And yay for the yellow cover!
I received a free e-copy through Netgalley but it hasn’t influenced my opinion.

This is an adorable collection on short and funny comics.
I follow her on instagram and when I saw I could read this I immediately requested it.
The comics were very relatable, so if you have pets, are socially awkward or an artist this book is perfect for you!

This book was wildly relatable for me in various areas. I thought the author's depiction of life as an introvert especially using books as a form of escapism was perfectly captured in a funny and palpable way. The simplicity in the illustrations added to the overall charm even though at first, the one page strips threw me off. I definitely recommend this for anyone in need of a short and charming read!

Sarah Andersen never fails to make relatable comics. Following the format of her other Sarah Andersen 4-panel comics, enters Oddball.
Oddball captures what being introverted, a little odd, an oversharer, a little socially awkward, a millennial and so much more. The lead character is hilarious and just so relatable. I've never related this much to anything in my life!

Sarah Andersen's latest installment in her popular Sarah's Scribbles series is another wonderful comic collection about everyday life which I feel many people can relate to. There are topics covered here she stays true to like being an introverted person, loving cats and having anxiety. I do feel like this one was a bit more repetitive than the previous ones in collection, but I still loved it and I'd gladly recommend the entire series. This one was worth the wait.

Sarah Andersen is a master of relatability (granted, I am approximately her target audience). Her comics are simple and direct and super relaxed. This is a gentle, quick, light-hearted read - a quick breath of cool air, but it won't sustain you.
Reading Oddball, like her other work, is exactly like sitting next to a friend of yours that you like but don't know well enough. You share stories and you end up saying "I know right?!", and "Me too!" and a wonderful kinship which comes from it.

This was great. I had a big grin on my face for some, laughed out loud on others, and felt seen in others. The artwork is perfect. I'd recommend this book for any coffee table other than one in a very religious church. :D

I thought this was a lot of fun to read. Andersen's comics are lovely, and her simple style is evocative and made me smile a lot. She is quite perceptive, and almost all of the comics worked for me.

Let me just begin this review by saying: I love Sarah Anderson's comics SO MUCH! Reading through it brought me so much joy -- the relatability of a cat-loving, book-reading, easily-obsessed-with-new-internet-things, introvert is just *chef's kiss*. I see myself in it, and enjoy the art style too! I was sad when it ended, and just wish it was longer than 114 pages; there were some comics I had already seen on Instagram, but also lots of new ones.

I loved Sarah Anderson’s work. She is one of my favourite contemporary artists. Most of what she draws, I feel like she draws for me. Her love for cats and dogs, her passions for books, her introverted nature, her overthinking,… so many of her comic themes resonate with me. Even when a theme has no direct connection in my life – she sketches a lot about authors, for instance, and I have no wish to be one, I still find them relatable and hilarious. I guess you can already predict where I am going with this. I loved this book!!! Go for it!!! This has become my favourite volume of ‘Sarah’s Scribbles’, toppling “Adulthood is a Myth” from its pedestal.
My only two regrets:
1. Why wasn’t it longer?
2. Why did I complete it in one sitting?
Sigh.
Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the ARC of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Sarah Andersen deserves to be at the top of any bestselling chart because she's a genius.
Her comics are cute but they're also the excellent portrait of generation and/or some humans :)
Love her works, highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
