Full disclosure: I love Sarah Andersen and her "scribbles". This new collection (her fourth) does not disappoint. I at least chuckled at every comic, and belly laughed at several. I'm in what I've heard referred to as the "Oregon Trail Generation", born in between Gen X and Gen Y, not fully a part of either. But I sure do relate to the depiction of millennials in these comics. Add in introversion and cats and Sarah has basically scribbled my life. Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for a digital ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I love Sarah Andersen's comics as it's fresh and cute. This book also consist of strips that interesting and fun to read. However, I expect more from her, this feels just ..okay?

Still a fun read, tho.

Just as good as the other Sarah's Scribbles graphic novels. I like that she's returned to the format of the first book, and even though I recognized many of the comics from her instagram, as always there were some new ones as well to read and enjoy. Besides, they are all so relatable, so it was an enjoyable revisit with the ones I already knew as well.

Will definitely be purchasing this, when it comes out as a physical copy, so I can add it to my collection.

All the stars to this ode to weird, introverted oddballs of the world!
It's amazing how a few four-panel cartoons can make you feel totally seen, understood, and that you're not alone. I love how relatable Andersen is in her cartoony alter ego. And I guarantee that any reader will get at least a few chuckles out of this one.

Many very happy thanks to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the early read!

I adore Sarah Andersen's cartoons, so snagging a sneak at Oddball was a pure delight. Andersen's comics are relatable, honest, and give me a giggle (or, as the case with the all *too* relatable ones, a groan). Honestly can't wait for my friends to see the Oddball collection!

I haven't had many interesting reads lately, but "Oddball" was definitelly one of them. I had a lot of fun reading Sarah Andersen's new book, relating to each short story and enjoying her drawing style.

She's always shone the brightest to me when she speaks about anxiety, social expectations and day-to-day struggles, and "Oddball" definitelly brings that to the table. However, while I enjoyed most of the book and felt deeply connected to some of the pages, I think the predominance of millenial humor and situations described within "Oddball" might push away other segments of readers.

I really wanted to pick this book up and, honestly, I think it's given me what I expected from it, which is a lot! I wish some pictures weren't so meme-related as I didn't really get them, but overall it was a very enjoyable experience.

Honestly, this was quite fun and I really flew through this. Most of the little comics are also pretty relatable. However, this installement in this series just wasn't my favourite. I feel like there was quite alot of repetition. A lot of the comics were also based on memes and the humour of them came completely of the recreation of a meme, which felt a bit lazy to me. On top of that a lot of the comics seemed to be about the difference in generations (you know the millenial vs gen z thing) and that also just got real tired really quickly. However, I'll always really enjoy reading these.

I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley!

Let's start with the cover. It fits the author's series. I always love seeing what the new cover art will be.

I absolutely adore this author and every book she puts out.

I'd definitely recommend this to my friends.

I love Sarah Anderson, she never disappoints. I will be adding this book to my Christmas wish list and gifting a copy or two I think!

Andersen does not disappoint with this book. It is always refreshing to find something so utterly relatable. And just truly funny.

For Libraries: While classified as adult, there is no real content issues to be wary of. I think a great deal of teens can probably relate the the humor here. So if Andersen has fans in your community, this might be worth adding to your shelves.

Sarah is universally snort-your-coffee-out-your-nose funny. I'm always amazed how she fits all this dramatic motion into one, seemingly simply drawn page. I guess it helps that she completely gets me and those like me. can't wait to share this one with friends. I loved it.

I was given an advanced reader copy of Oddball from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I’m a huge fan of Sarah Anderson and her scribbles series. Her cartoons are absolutely delightful and volume four is no different. She has a wonderful way of expressing herself in these scribbles so that anyone can relate. Even with only a few panels, Sarah is able to have you laughing.

So give it a try and prepare yourself because once you start you won’t be able to put the book down!

The Story:

These comics always make me feel like a little less of a weirdo. Or maybe just like I’m not the only weirdo. They are fun and cute and really imitate life.

The Random Thoughts:

The type of humor and emotion that I expect from Sarah Anderson. Fantastic book with great illustrations!

Perfect for introverts, millennials, and those who love Sarah's sense of humor. She is so relatably funny and encapsulates the struggles of adulthood perfectly. This is the perfect coffee table book, conversation starter, and pick me up.

Love, love, love Sarah Andersen. Her understated drawings and her acute observations are a delight and this new volume is sure to please.

I'm so happy I was able to have a first glance at this book! I love Sarah Andersen's work since I've discovered her on social media, and this book was, as expected, very good! It didn't disappoint at all! The drawings are very simple, yet they always made their job: make readers laugh! At least I laugh a lot! Some scenes were very relatable and very true; this is something I love in Sarah's work: it's always authentic, you always find some truth in it! Thank you Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for this eARC! And a special thank you to Sarah who never fails to make me laugh!

Adorable and highly relatable comics illustrating the highs and lows of being an oddball. Never disappointed by Sarah's work.

Couldn't open this file at all. Wouldn't come on the netgalley shelf. Had no way of accessing this title. It's a shame as I was looking forward to reading this.

Thank you NetGalley and Andrew. McMeel Publishing for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest.

Still packed with the humor and relatability that we get and love from Sara!
