Another funny, relatable collection of Sarah Scribbles comics. Feline fans will especially enjoy this newest volume. Much thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my advance review copy!

A funny little vignette book, "Oddball" is a great for anyone who wants to have a little break from their everyday life with one page stories full of quirkiness, odd humor, silly moments and cats. Andersen does a good job in making almost all of the jokes work, but, after having gone through some of this kind of simple-drawing, no-plot, silly-jokes kind of comics, I can't but feel that there is nothing here to make it stand out of the crowd. I am not going to call it lazy (even if I have seen some of the jokes before) but the sense of déjà vu is strong in this one.

The drawing style is simple, stick style, with little details, just there for the punchline, the delivery of the joke. It fulfills its purpose, but, as with many others of this kind of comics, it can also be said that it is too simple.

It is an easy to like read, and however you read it (one story at a time, or going through it all in one go) you will probably not regret it. But I just hope Andersen tries harder with the stories next time.

Oddball: A Sarah's Scribbles Collection by Sarah Andersen is currently scheduled for release on October 12 2021. This is the fourth book in this graphic novel series. This particular collection of Sarah's Scribbles comics explores the evils of procrastination, the trials of the creative process, the cuteness of kittens, and the beauty of not caring about your appearance as much as you did when you were younger. When it comes to humorous illustrations of the awkwardness and hilarity of millennial life, Sarah's Scribbles is without peer.

Oddball is exactly what fans of the artist will be looking for from this book. Her art style and humor is consistent and enjoyable. The perils of living as an artist, introvert, or anxious individual are portrayed well, and in ways most of us that fall into those categories can relate to. While some of the pages were familiar to me, since I follow the artist on social media, others were new. The humor is relatable on several levels, even if some of the generational jokes pretty much ignored the existence of generation x- but everyone does. I think fans will want to pick this up, or at least give it a read through.

Oddball is not the first I have read from this collection, and hopefully it will not be the last. It offers humor and self awareness to all the socially awkward, anxious, and otherwise odd feeling introverts trying to survive day to day life.

Sarah Anderson does not disappoint with this next great graphic novel, Oddball will charm fans of her earlier work.

Sarah Andersen's drawing style is simple but whimsical and fun. It is just very easy to understand and relate to the situations she draws. She had me laughing out loud a couple of times. This isn't my favorite collection by Sarah, but it did keep me entertained until the end. There were a couple of times I didn't get what she was trying to tell, but that is more because I am not fully plugged in to what is currently going on in the world. Overall, this was another fun and entertaining collection, and I look forward to seeing more.

I love Sarah’s work - so funny and relatable! This book didn’t disappoint. I only wish it had been longer!

<i>Thanks to NetGalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.</i>

This was perfect! And so relatable 😂 I love these memes when they pop up on Insta so reading a compilation of them was just the best!

Another entertaining and hilarious set of comics by Sarah. I have been following her on Twitter for a long time and it is so nice to be able to read her comics off of that website. The comics are very relatable, especially if you are an introvert, a book lover, a cat owner, or someone who has always felt like an "outsider." The quality of the collection is very good too, with no comics cut-off or poorly edited from the book layout.

More delightful and hilarious Sarah's Scribbles comics. This collection thankfully didn't recycle a bunch of previously published strips, which was a nice change of pace from collections 2 and 3.

I love Sarah's style, thoughts, and everything! This one is not my favorite one, but it continues the nice little situations that I feel familiar with.

I adore this artist, and I love seeing their online work all the time. This collection is their fourth, and they keep being the most consistent and enjoyable. I will happily read & re-read this for serotonin.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for sending me a digital copy in exchange for an honest review.

Sarah Anderson (aka Sarah Scribbles) is back with Oddball, the fourth collection of her webcomics. Oddball touches on things like hyperfixation, being an artist and mental health. There's also plenty of gags about cats, Tiktok and being an introvert.

Anderson's minimal cartoon style is instantly recogniseable - her work has that instant meme quality (especially the final panel punchlines!). Sone of the comics are quite clever (like Medusa being the ultimate customer for the pet rock) and others are just relatable for young people who live most of their lives online.

If you're already a fan of her work, you'll love Oddball - if you're not you might enjoy it as a quick read. This also mentioned stickers however I can't speak to those as I read my copy in the Netgalley Shelf app.

Rating - two thumbs up - liked it! 👍👍

Oddball is a odd book you need to read atleast once in life. What's a good read? Some humour some self-help, some feel-good moments, some assurance... Altogether makes the book a 5 star read.
And I hereby say that Oddball is such a book.
All the assurance on self-love had me overwhelming. Brought back to the time when I was confident and happy in my own flesh, running around having fun.
Also fighting the evil of procrastination is one such big deal. An icebreaker. Such good theme.
I haven't read any other book in this series, but this one has clearly convinced me to go to the others. I'm becoming a fan of Sarah 😅.
I share the love for cute kittens in the book ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ.

This book is so simple and funny and relatable and uplifting. I recommend it to all. I have loved her previous books, and this one is no exception.

I love Sarah's Scribbles. I've seen her comics here and there online but I've never read a full book by her until now.

Her comics are so hilarious and relatable. Like truly, I was laughing out loud on almost every page, and I think I nudged my husband probably thirty or more times while I was reading to show him the comics I thought were the best and the funniest.

I don't know if each of her books has a theme, but Oddball seemed to focus on cats, millennials vs. gen x people, being introverted, and it also had some spooky scenes. I loved it all.

As soon as I finished Oddball, I immediately checked out Sarah's four other books from my library because I need to read everything by her. This comic collection was great and I definitely recommend it if you want a good laugh.

Sarah Andersen is a treasure and her comics (and books) are all amazing. This one is no different! I absolutely loved it.

I’ve been a huge fan of Sarah Andersen’s book for awhile, and I was so excited to read this book. Like many of her fans, I feel like Sarah is drawing just for me- I identify with so much of her art. Plus we have the same name, which just adds to the connection, lol. Her art makes me laugh out loud, and I love everything she does, even when it covers topics that I only have a passing familiarity with (I have many artist friends, but an artist I am not). I smile any time I come across her work, and this book was no exception. It was a pleasure to read and over much too soon.

Fun cute relatable comics whats’s not to love? This is my first time actually seeing a collection in book form so it was nice.

Another strong collection of Sarah Andersen's always enjoyable cartoons about millennial life. Most are reprints, so big fans won't have much new to see here, but given her work is so evergreen that hardly matters.

I love these comics so much, so when I saw an advanced copy of a book of them on NetGalley today, I downloaded it immediately. 🥰

Sarah’s comics are always so relatable and funny, I feel SEEN 😂😂😂. Reading through these was like scrolling through the Sarah’s Scribbles Instagram. Some of the comics I recognized, some I didn’t, but as usual I laughed out loud at most of them.

This was a fun quick read.
