Sarah Andersen's comics are always a joy to read, I find them very enjoyable and also very relatable since I am a fellow introvert like the author. The comics are a lot of fun and they never fail to put a smile on my face. I totally recommend this new Sarah's Scribbles collection!

As always, very funny with great pictures, also coming with a new obsession, FROGS.
This charming and humorous fourth collection of Sarah’s Scribbles was about many things that I really loved the PETS part.
Well, my cats prefer my cup to their water bowl, and I'm not multilanguage, I’m dumb in 3 languages, too. It’s not what you expect. :)
I'm always surprised that there are so many of me in Sarah Andersen's books.
Many thanks to Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for giving me the chance to read Oddball, Sarah's Scribbles #4 by Sarah Andersen, I have given my honest review.

I’ve read all of Sarah’s Scribbles books and, although I still enjoyed it, this one was my least favorite.
It explores a whole range of matters, from anxiety to procrastination, cute kittens and millennial life. As an introvert myself I could relate to many of these comics (I exclaimed more than once “that’s me!”). I especially enjoyed the comics about books and authors, I laughed out loud with some of them, but several other jokes flew over my head. Also I felt like I had already seen some of them before, but the funny drawing style still made them cute.
If there’s a book 5 in the series I’ll be there to read it.

Relatable, hilarious and downright comforting - Sarah Andersen is back with her latest instalment of Sarah’s Scribbles. I loved this one just as much as I have loved her others, I feel like she plucked some of these scenarios right from my own life. The relatable and lighthearted read we all need in 2021!

Sarah' Andersen's books have been since a couple of years a must read on my Goodreads account. I always have a lot of fun and enjoy her comics a lot.
Leggere Sarah Anderson é diventato quasi un must per me da un paio d'anni a questa parte e la seguo su tutti i social media anche perché mi diverte sempre moltissimo.
I received from the Publisher a complimentary digital advanced review copy of the book in exchange for a honest review.

I've been following this comic artist on Instagram and was thrilled to see another book come out filled with her humor. Sarah Andersen is so relatable through her comic portrayal of a introverted oddball. With such little said and shown in each strip, simplistic in a positive way, she can create so many relatable emotions. She discusses everything from parties, friendship, style, age; but, I am especially fond of all the ones involving the ridiculousness of cats. If you want a laugh and quick read, definitely pick this up!

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for an advanced electronic copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!
This collection shares a variety of hilarious and relatable comics that any 20-something can enjoy. I laughed and often thought, "oooo that's me," which made the experience even better. I highly recommend this artist's work!

Very funny and so much fun. I can totally see myself in that character and the situation she find herself into. Read it, you will like it!

This is so freaking cute, funny and soooo relatible it is unreal. I laughed out loud, showed/told my husband about a few i felt he would understand and just have a great time reading this.

I always look forward to Sarah's books and this one is just as strong as the previous efforts. Her ability to capture the humor and heart of everyday frustrations and fears is truly something special. The pure humanity of her comics remains utterly relatable. I see myself so strongly in this book and it gives me comfort while also making me laugh out loud.

5 stars - I loved it!
This is another wonderful collection of comics from Sarah's Scribbles comics. In this volume, she explores creativity, self expression, cats, and being an oddball. I really loved this collection and connected with almost all of the comics in it. She really does a wonderful job at capturing what it's like to be an introvert and oddball.

I've been a casual fan of this author's comics and it was fun to go through the collection. Many seemed timely in the setting of the recent pandemic, while others were more lighthearted and comforting. I particularly enjoyed the frequent appearance of cats and dogs that I found to be quite charming and relatable. A quick read that is fun to share with friends.

Review of Oddball by Sarah Anderson
This fourth collection of Sarah’s Scribbles comics is all about being a little strange and finding other people to be strange with whether the others are friends, pets, or just enjoying some time alone. Anderson writes about the awkwardness of being in one’s twenties and jokes about some differences between Millennials and Gen Z. Topics in this book include a love for Halloween, pets, Anderson’s experience being in her twenties, and more. This new book builds on all the humor and hopefulness found in the previous three comic collections. New and previous readers will devour this hilarious and wonderfully illustrated comic collection.
5 out of 5 stars for this delightful feel-good comic collection.

In the sea of uncertainty and anxiety these last almost 2 years have been, [author:Sarah Andersen|14144506] is exactly what we need. She puts into images and witty words what I've been feeling day to day. She makes me laugh at my oddities and those I see around me and learn to love and appreciate them more. We're all unique and your tribe is out there. This made me laugh when I needed it most. I loved it!
<i>A huge thank you to the author and publisher for providing an e-ARC via Netgalley. This does not affect my opinion regarding the book.</i>

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Sarah Andersen's art makes me happy. Having a crap/negative day? Stalk her on line a bit and reread all her strips and hey presto all is well again. And Oddball is no exception. I actually cant express how much I smiled while reading this. All hail Sarah!

This is the third Sarah Andersen book I’ve read. I loved the pages that had a cat or cats. SO realistic.
An example of a page that gave me a smile: why do witches always have black cats? There's a great page on Time Traveling. Some comic panels were blurry; I’m not sure why she blurred these pages . . . perhaps to show movement.
Many thanks to Netgalley for allowing us to enjoy Sarah’s Scribbles.

I first stumbled across Sarah Andersen's work back in 2017, and I've been a fan ever since. Somehow I never came around to reading the first book of the series yet, but I really enjoyed my time with book two and three. It's been a while since book three was published, making me even more excited when I saw a new bundle was going to be published soon. I know that I don't really read a lot of graphic novels, but there is just something about the style of the illustrations and the topics the author talks about that really speaks to me. And Oddball definitely didn't turned out to be an 'oddball' as I once more really enjoyed my time with this newest installment.
Once again you will see daily life mixed with anxiety topics as well as lots of cat/reading related illustrations. Most of the situations are extremely easy to relate to, or at least they are for me personally, and there is a healthy dose of humor included too. Especially the cat related ones made me laugh, as some of them are EXACTLY what my cats do as well. The introvert/anxiety ones were spot on as well, and we even get some COVID and Gen Z related ones along the way too. What makes Oddball feel more authentic is the fact that the situations are (partly) autobiographical, giving us both an insight in the author's life as well as creating easily relatable stories for fellow oddballs, introverts and cat/book lovers alike.
Oddball without doubt turned out to be another fun read and it's perfect for when you want to take a little break from the world, get yourself a cuppa and enjoy absorbing those pages. The illustrations are easy on the eye and the real life situations feel authentic. I've seen the tone being compared to Furiously Happy, and I still stand behind that comparison!

A much needed light, quick collection of comics on introversion, anxiety, cats, and embracing who you are. I could never get tired of Sarah Scribbles.

I would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review. I have always been a fan of the Sarah Scribbles books, they never disappoint and this one was no exception. Looking forward to the next one.

Oh dear. A respect for these flippant one-page cartoon things, and even their longer-form essay-type variants (absent from this volume), had built up in my mind. Only to get shot down quite quickly here. Instead of love, the vagaries of life, and the insecure mind, we get yack about Millennials versus Generation Z, and I just have never been bothered to learn what trashy media think those labels even indicate. So I managed to be engaged by these pages even less than the earlier books when they'd been on about periods. I mean, someone calls a cat a "chonk" and I have less than zero idea wtf that's supposed to mean. I'm really surprised by how much the connection prior books managed to build up vanished almost overnight here, to such an extent I doubt the series could ever be redeemed.
