When it comes to simple yet cute and relatable four-to-five panel comics about the human condition as an anxious, introverted millennial who prefers cats to people, Sarah Andersen is peerless and unparalleled.
This is her fourth collection of comics, and it may just be my favorite so far—I loved every single page, and only wish it had been longer. Global warming and the pandemic/quarantine make some appearances, but as a whole this was refreshing because it's mostly about cats and the sudden emergence of exceptionally odd interests. Personally, while I can't say that I'm particularly taken by frogs, one of my hyperfixations this year has been Greek mythology, so I loved that there were some adorable comics that included Medusa and Hades.
I, too, am a former emo kid, love true crime and macabre stuff, am dumb in three different languages, love spooky things, cute things, and spooky-cute things the most of all, have given up the inherently sexist ~*not like the other girls*~ crap as I've grown up and learned to enjoy my femininity, waste too much time looking at memes, lose myself in hyperfixations (or, as I like to call them, my emotional support obsessions), and have no idea what I'm doing.
Sarah gets is, and has a unique gift for distilling even complex feelings into just a few panels with the simplest lines, sometimes without even requiring any words at all. She's an oddball who makes us other oddballs feel seen and understood, and I'll always support her art.

It's the fourth Sarah's Scribbles book and the series is starting to get really worn out at this point. Though not as determinedly dull as Herding Cats, Oddball is still a weak entry with few strips doing more than raise a faint smile, and most leaving me with a "meh" at best. A lot of obvious, social media humour that I'm sure gets lots of likes on Instagram or wherever but aren't impressive at all, least of all collected and read in a sequence like this. The art style hasn't progressed much (she uses blurs in some now) but at least this wasn't as dad jokey as her last book, Fangs, was. Unless you're a die hard fan of hers, Oddball isn't worth checking out for Sarah Andersen fans.

I absolutely loved this little book. (Might buy a physical copy). Very relatable, and fun. Loved the drawings and everything about it.

A lovely collection of relatable and hilarious drawings that speak to the reality of life as an anxious elder millennial. This book would make a great gift for the weird best friends in your life. I giggled and felt very seen as I paged through this collection of art.

I love Sarah Andersen's work, so it was a real pleasure to read this book. I had already seen some of these online, and was very happy to discover new comics.
It's all way too relatable and very funny, and I recommend it if you want good milenial or gen Z humour, and cats.

It was a very nice and funny collection. Would have, as always, like for them to be longer. Some of the drawings I have seen on the internet beforehand but the majority were new to me.

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!

I will worship this woman as a goddess. Because she is a goddess. I always loved her style and her cartoons and comics. She's unique and irreplaceable.
I've laughed so much with her work. Who knows Sarah, know that she's so hilarious.
Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book.

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.
