When I see this title on Netgalley, I thought I need this immediately. You can find your pandemic self in the drawings. I've seen some of it before but they still make me smile. I had good time, I really missed her dark humor. And thanks to Netgalley for this arc.

I've followed Sarah Andersen on Instagram for a few years now, always loved her work and found it very relatable most of the times.
I find her drawings simple but very funny and cute and makes everything she wants to express easy to understand.

Loved every page ❤

I have been following Sarah Andersen’s comics on Instagram and when I saw she was coming out with another book I knew I had to get my hands on it. I absolutely loved her previous one Fangs. Her work is relatable and always such a fun read. I would definitely recommend it!

I want to thank NetGalley, Sarah Andersen and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the e-ARC of this graphic novel. Opinions expressed in this review are honest, my own and left voluntarily.

Loved it! Loved it! Loved every page, every joke, and drawing, especially those about introverts because, well, I am an introvert.

I've been following Sarah for a while now and I love her work. I find her drawing style so simple and yet so perfect for anything she wants to express.

Thank you very much, NetGalley for this one!

Thank you to NetGalley and Sarah Andersen for an E-ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I love love love these cartoons. They make me smile whenever I see them so being able to see these before they came out made me so happy. This comic is beyond relatable and witty. I love my humor with a little bit of sarcasm and painful truths. Oddball was a tremendous read. I highly recommend to everyone who loves to laugh and can sometimes be a little awkward.

I am a fan of Sarah Anderson and once again, Oddball does not disappoint! It's such a funny, cute and relatable collection of comics! Sarah never fails to make me laugh. As a cat lover, I loved the cat comics and I felt very seen when I read the introvert ones! And the facial expressions in the artwork are just too funny! I simply just loved everything about this!

Thank you to Andrews McMeel Publishing, NetGalley and Sarah Anderson herself for the e-ARC..

I am a huge Sarah Anderson fan, and just like her other collections, Oddball is perfection! All of the comics are so relatable, and I can always count on them to make me laugh out loud. Just like Sarah, I am also obsessed with cats and witches, so I think the comics about those are the ones that I love the most. The artwork is hilarious, and the people in them always have the funniest facial expressions that just makes the comics even better. If you are an introvert, oddball, or just an overall weirdo, read this book. I promise you will love it.

Thank you to Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for my ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you to the publisher for providing an ARC of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Sarah Andersen's comics are one of my favorites. Drowings are adorable. This is a true story. The book is quite amusing.

It was beneficial to me. I had a good time and had a big grin on my face when I finished the book. I was only sorry for the book's short length. Is it possible for me to make a request for more?


This is a book that I strongly suggest! Take a cup of coffee, grab Oddball, and enjoy.

Oh man, Sarah's cartoons are so fun, I love them! I have seen a few of the cartoons in this collection but that didn't make them any less enjoyable. This book would be a great addition to any home library. You could pick it up anytime you needed a smile or a giggle in your life.

When I saw this book I got excited because I follow Sarah on Instagram and normally relate to her comics. This book did not disappoint, it brought a smile to my face. Most of the comics are just one page, some I have seen on her page, but the majority I have not seen before. Its just a fun, lovely coffee table book, great to look through every now and again.

I absolutely love Sarah's Scribbles. There are days as an introvert that I really feel like nobody really gets me. Those are the days that I reach for these books for a little humor. The fourth book in the series, Oddball, was just as amazing as the other three books in the series! Thank you Sarah Anderson for another wonderful book and thank you Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the ARC copy.

I’ve been a fan of Sarah’s Scribbles for years and have her other three books, so I was really excited when I saw this new one. This book continues the tradition of a quirky awkward introvert world, and is just as much fun to read as the other books.

Thank you to NetGalley for this advanced reader copy. All opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Thanks, Netgalley for the e-ARC.

Unable to open this copy after several tries. So, can't give the review.

I am a huge fan of Sarah’s Scribbles! I have enjoyed all of Sarah Andersen’s previous graphic novels, so I was very excited to get an ARC of her newest graphic novel. Oddball was exactly what I expected and what I needed. So much of Andersen’s art I feel personally connected to as an introverted cat and book lover. Her art makes me laugh out-loud and is a quick, enjoyable read. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun graphic novel. 4.5 stars.

I received a free digital ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Will Sarah Andersen ever create something I don't love? Never.

Such a fan of her funny and heartwarming art. This collection is no different than her previous. I adore that she revels and pokes fun at life as an awkward introverted twenty-something, and I'll never stop loving her work.

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. But also mostly thank you to Sarah Andersen, who makes the best art.

I love the Sarah's Scribbles Series, and was looking forward to the 4th installment Oddball. After reading it,the whole time I was screaming "So Relatable!". The author has captured the essence of 2020-2021 in the book, would recommend to everybody to read this.

Oddball is a cute collection of illustrations and the fourth installment of Sarah's Scribbles. I recognized the lead character (the artist herself) from posts shared on social media and got the ARC.
The book deals with a lot of themes ranging from cats (can never get tired of them) to witches to being comfortable in our own skin, and the life of an introverted artist.
The comic book is in black and white and can be read either in 15 mins or in 15 days. The choice is yours. I opted for the former. ;)
There isn't much to say except that I fully enjoyed most of the illustrations and related to quite a few of them. Grab a copy when you are feeling a bit low and sit with a cup of hot chocolate. It should cheer you up rather well.
Thank you, NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing, for the ARC.

A very cute addition to the series but a lack of a longer story or any type of arc made this edition more random and less purposeful.

I absolutely loved this compilation of Sarah Andersen comics, as always they were extremely fun and relatable. Some of them I'd read before, some of them not, but they still all sparked joy and I recommend this book to everyone looking for a bit of a funny pause in their life.
