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.

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

I am, probably, a Millennial. (Or an Xennial, if you prefer; I'm on a generational cusp.) I have cats. I have anxiety. I have obsessive interests. I am awkward in person. That means that this book was basically written for and about me. Like the previous books in the series, Sarah Anderson once again manages to touch on a lot of very true things and to make them funny, things like the way a cat with its belly exposed is awfully like a bear trap waiting to be sprung or how absolutely insane people my age are going to sound when we're old. I'm not sure it will be as relatable to everyone - well-adjusted dog people may not find it as funny - but if you enjoyed Anderson's other works or if you, too, are an awkward-in-person, cat-having, anxious Mill-or-Xennial, this book will make you feel seen in the funniest of ways.

2.5
well, I follow her on Instagram and I've seen some of these before. I still relate to some of them but in general, it wasn't my favorite.

Gotta love Sarah's Scribbles. These are always so relatable. I enjoy the quick and easy artwork, how the panels are simple and flow into one another with ease. Her humor is the perfect balm for the existential dread that encompasses the millennial experience.

Another Sarah's Scribbles webcomic book that I enjoyed so much because I can relate to the parts about being introverted, cat's love, authors and other things. It made laugh a lot because it was so true and I'm happy that I'm not alone which makes you feel good, really thank you Sarah your books always help. It was so entertaining, I liked so much but I got frustrated because I finished it so fast and I wanted more, so I'm gonna re-read it like now!

Oddball is the latest collection of comics from Sarah Anderson's "Sarah's Scribbles" webcomic. Filled with cat-loving, intervorted, Millennial humour that is eminently relatable, Oddball is the slice of 2020/1 life that we need. From proscrastination to quarantine; introversion and witches, it's full of the gentle quirkiness that "Sarah's Scribbles" is known for.

Love this webcomic. Love this book.

I loved the pages of this review copy that worked! Insightful humorous and poignant these pieces capture the feelings of being an “oddball” so well. Unfortunately my copy didn’t work properly and I was not able to read the whole book - however what I was able to read left me wanting to finish and I’ll pick it up once it’s published.

I could have just given this 5 stars without reading it because I'm that certain I'd love it. But I did read it. I read it so fast a physical copy would have melted. Sarah Andersen always makes me smile. Her comics are quick and funny and highly relatable. She's a master of her craft and as long as she keeps writing comics, I'll keep reading them.

I loved this new book by Sarah Anderson. I follow her on social media and get her daily calendars and I STILL felt like I was reading a whole bunch of new stuff in Oddball.

So funny and relatable. I’m sure I’m not the only person in the world that reads her books and thinks - maybe I have another personality and she draws comics…

This did not disappoint. I don't know what it is about these silly simple drawings, but they just crack me up! I love them so much and I loved this book.

This book,,,, was absolutely incredible. I cannot tell you how many times I screamed "ME! THAT'S ME!!!!" or how many times I laughed out loud because I did so many times. It's like Sarah Anderson can see into my soul or something because I related to so much of this book in how I feel, what life is like, and how I am as a person. I will gratefully scoop up any crumb of comics she writes or any book of comics she publishes because they are just so darn good and relatable!

I have physical copies of all her books and i read them often. So funny , and relatable!!!
This one does not disappoint!

I have been a fan of Sarah for a long time. And this collection of her comics did not disapoint. I loved Oddball with its hilarious comics and relatable content. I highly recommend it!

Sarah Andersen is funny and relatable as always and I loved every single comic in here. No surprises no regrets

HAHAHA it was really satisfying to read this book, each page made me laugh enormously, it represents many situations very well with just a few vignettes, the drawing style of the author Sarah Andersen is incredibly cool, that cartoon design really caught me, each page It is a compliment, everything is very beautiful and it is really very funny!

I would 100% recommend reading it, plus it is super short, I finished it incredibly fast, a very pleasant read to pass the time
