Sarah Andersen's art and sense of humor are consistently hilarious relatable and pitch perfect. If you're looking for a good book to brighten your day, Oddball perfectly fills that need.

This was so much fun to read. I love Sarah's comics on Instagram and love having a handful of them to read all at once!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC which I received in return for an honest review.

It was a fun read, really entertaining. Sometimes I was laughing out loud and I really relate with most of Sarah's comic strips.

As with the previous book - I just feel there is not much unity in the book, or a central theme.

This was a cute and humorous graphic novel from Sarah Andersen. This was the first book of hers that I have read, although I had heard of and seen her work previously. This was quite lovely and another great offering from Andrews McMeel Publishing.

My favourite parts were the the ones about cats! And I related to the parts where she discusses being an introvert and feeling insecurity and uncertainty. I plan to read more of her books in the future. When it was finished, I was left wanting more.

Thanks to the author/illustrator, Andrews McMeel Publishing, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this title in advance of publication.

With Sarah Andersen collections you always know what to expect and the humour is consistent, another good collection to peruse

Sarah Anderson is hugely popular because she is highly relatable. Oddball is her fourth semi-autobiographical comic book and she has made them better with each installment. Highly relatable to cat-people (people who like cats, not people who are cats), millennials, and women. The comic style is all black and white and may seem simplistic but, Anderson does expression very well. I always have a good laugh at Sarah's comics and this book is no exception.

I adore Sarah Andersen and every relatable comic she has to share. I want posters of these images because they're hilarious but also because they speak to me in a ridiculous sort of way. So grateful that I got a chance to read these.

I have always been a fan of Sarah's Scribbles and this book was funny and relatable to say the least.. It is a comfort book, a quick flip through for dull days, and it did make me feel old but it's alright.

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for an advanced copy of Oddball by Sarah Andersen. As I expected, Oddball is great - I'm very fond of Sarah's Scribbles, and it's fun to check back in on the comic as it progresses. Millennial humor solidarity, honestly! Her jokes always make me laugh and the art is simple and utterly distinctive - a true mastery of the comic form. Always good for a pick me up.

Funny, familiar, and surprisingly inspiring! Recommended for readers who enjoy quick reads, comics, and life-resonating moments.

I'm gonna be honest...gthe older I get the harder to make me laugh...and that's sad 'cause Sarah's Scribbles tends to be one of those things that give a big laugh, and now is just a little smile or a "I can relate to that"...and that's all. But I'm gonna say a "It's me, not you" an try to give her another try with her next book.

I will always love all graphic novels that Sarah Andersen puts out. This one is no different. How is this artist able to sustain the same magic and charm over the course of four books is beyond my grasp?

Another delightful collection from Sarah Andersen! "Oddball" is a great blend of relatable and lighthearted humor. I think this would be a great fit for a wide range of young adults and beyond who are looking for a laugh.

Thank you to NetGalley & the publisher for providing an eARC for review.

"Oddball" is another one of Sarah Anderson's funny and unique comics that offers readers the chance to glimpse into her life. I would recommend this to any Anderson fan or a graphic novel fan that you want to introduce the style to. It would make a wonderful holiday gift. I was not disappointed with this one at all. 5/5 stars.

This is a new comic collection in the Sarah’s Scribbles series. These comics comment on millennial life, and they are so hilarious. While I was reading, I constantly had to take screenshots of my favourite comics because they were so funny.

Some of the themes in these comics are introverted people, millennial lifestyle, artists, and cats. There were many comics that comment on how millennials use the internet. The first comic had an aging millennial as a senior in a nursing home who reacts to a dog with comments like the We Rate Dogs social media accounts. Anyone who has a cat or has spent time with a cat will relate to the cat comics. Some comics showed the differences between a cat’s and a dog’s reactions to human love, while another answered the question of why witches only have black cats. These were hilarious and relatable comics.

Oddball is a hilarious comic collection!

Sarah Andersen's Sarah Scribbles series never fails to be both relatable and entertaining. This most recent volume has a lot of enjoyable cat owner content.
