Thank you to Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for the eARC to read and review!

This was another fun and relatable graphic novel by Sara Andersen. As always, the illustrations were creative, expressive, and delightful in Andersen's signature art style. "Oddball" is full of many brief relatable moments to enjoy and think further on. I do wish those had been longer or that there was something to bridge each mini story so that it didn't feel so random at times. My favorites were all the ones that involved cats. "Oddball" was a good read that I read quickly in one sitting.

Sarah Andersen is back with Oddball, the latest installment of the Sarah Scribbles‘ collection, and I could not be happier. She gets me, and most other millennials (particularly those of us who are a bit elder). This collection is packed with comics about 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.”

I always hating waiting for a new collection, but I do love revisiting these pages long after I’ve torn through them the first time. This one is out in November, so be sure to keep an eye out for it, particularly if you feel that you need to laugh to keep from crying in this dumpster fire of a world we’re in right now.

Whenever I pick up a Sarah Andersen graphic novel, I truly never want it to end. Every page is filled with her iconic illustrations that depict the struggles of everyday life in the most hilarious of ways.

To those people who aren't socially awkward- you may not relate to a lot of the situations in this book! But to my introverted weirdos- this is exactly the book for you.

I laughed out loud on nearly every page (the last couple of pages are actually pretty profound and sweet), making this the perfect book to refresh your reading palette before your next hefty read.

Sarah Andersen- I'd love to be your oddball best friend!

Special thanks to NetGalley for sharing this digital reviewer copy with me in exchange for my honest opinions.

I've really become a fan of Sarah Andersen! Simple, unique drawings....Andersen's signature style in white, gray & black panels....offer a window into an introvert's happy place! So much here for an independent woman to celebrate & relate to, to appreciate, to chuckle over & agree with! Very cute! I really enjoyed this quick comic aimed at.....probably adult women!
I received an e-ARC from publisher Andrews McMeel via NetGalley, in return for reading it & posting my own fair & honest review

Such a funny and creative book relating to daily struggles the introverts go. This book will resonante with anyone with introvert personality, found themselves oftenly in socially awkward situations, have love for animals,love to read , procrastinate. I loved it a lot,some instances were really relatable.
My only complaint is that it finishes so quickly, I would like to read more books like these.

Another adorable and relatable edition of Sarah's Scribbles. I have loved every installment and this is no different! I love the drawings; very cute without having a lot going on. The subject matter is ALWAYS so relatable. As I was reading I would be like "Oh, that reminds me of so and so", "MEEEEE", and "Not wrong.".

Very cute. Very relatable. So funny. I love reading them when they come out and hope there is another!

Thank you to Sarah Andersen, Andrews McMeel Publishing, and NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

LOVE THIS (A LITTLE TOO MUCH)! I have enjoyed all the comic collections by Sarah Andersen and Oddball was no exception!

Sarah's comics (or scribbles) are so relatable and fun that always put a smile on my face or make me giggle out loud. I follow her on Instagram so I had seen a couple of these before, but most of them were new and this collection was just so enjoyable! My favorite ones were the ones about the millennial at the nursing home and the ones with Medusa.

And of course I'll get me a print copy of Oddball when it's published at the end of November because I really want those stickers that the front cover mentions.

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for expanding my fascination over Sarah's Scribbles by providing this ARC!

These books are always so relatable and funny. Oddball was notable because it had lots of monster-y jokes (Medusa, Dracula) and lots of relatable comics around obsessing about fictional things. There were a couple of pandemic references which I also appreciated.

You can never go wrong picking up a Sarah's Scribbles book if you need a pick-me-up.

Thank you Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for an advanced copy of Oddball.

As usual, Sarah Andersen does not fail to give us some of the most wonderful little glimpses of life. This collection is a tiny bit of that. Sarah's art always finds a way to make me smile. This one is highly recommended!

Thank you NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the free ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Like a lot of people, I love Sarah's Scribbles and find them to be super relatable and this new book is no exception. Once again Sarah Anderson has a charming, funny, heartwarming and often all together too reltable book. Perfect for fans and new readers alike!

In this fourth book in the Sarah's Scribbles collection, the author showcases the same sense of humor that made her relatable and famous, but with enough small changes on the topics she touches on to make sure she doesn't become repetitive or cringe and stays current (no easy task!)

Andersen clearly still knows what's popular and what's not with her public, very online millennials, and keeps giving us what we crave. There's the classic cat jokes and praise for comfortable clothes, but she also pokes good-natured fun at her emo, contrarian past self and starts to get into millennial-Gen Z dynamics. There's even a few gags about lockdown and some jabs at women's treatment or expections from society.

All in all, it's slightly different so it could stay the same. It's not a comic that will tell you anything particularly meaningful, it won't change your life, but it's a fun, easy read that appeals to a big public.

First of all, I’d like to thank Sarah Andersen and Netgalley for a free ebook in exchange for an honest review. I’ve been a fan of Sarah’s comics since 2016 and have read all previous installments of her Sarah’s Scribbles Series. Because of that, my expectations were sky-high and the book did not disappoint, even though I’ve seen several of the comics beforehand through her social media, none of them failed to make me laugh. The facial expressions on her drawings are always hilarious, and the number of emotions she can convey is surprising considering her art style. Being the fourth book in the series, Oddball is also a testament to how much Andersen has improved and perfected her drawings, and witnessing her progress as an artist is something that brings me great joy.

I believe that one of the main reasons for my love of Andersen’s art is that the topics she depicts are so relatable, both to myself and countless other readers. In Oddball she represents well several subjects, such as the struggles of more introverted people, the friendship dynamics between extroverts and introverts, the struggles faced by twenty-somethings that are still figuring out how to be an adult, the joys and downfalls of being a reader, how incredibly in love we all are with our pets and many more. Being on the autism spectrum I’m not represented in most of the media I consume, so what makes me happier when it comes to her comics is how seen I feel, even though Andersen has not (to my knowledge) disclosed to the public whether she is or not autistic herself, she captures perfectly certain aspects of autism. For example, how it is to have hyperfixations and special interests, how “weird” other people can make you feel for being “obsessed” with specific subjects, and how much you wish to share your special interests with others.

This is a funny, wholesome, and light-hearted read and that can make any bad day seem a little brighter. Also, it has MEDUSA IN IT, need I say more?

As a fellow awkward millennial who loves animals, witches, and fall I really relate to Sarah's cartoons. She has a knack for being able to show what it's like when you're the odd one out, the last one to the fandom, or the one decorating for Halloween when it's still 100 degrees out. It's refreshing to have cartoons about a late 20s character who isn't focused on love or children or acting like they have it all together.

This particular collection focuses on embracing the things that make you happy, finding your people, and loving your pets - whether they return the love all the time or not. There are some comics in here that have been shared on social media but also several new ones - and they all made me smile and laugh - just what we need right now!

I loved this cute little book
So relatable in so many ways.
A cute and fast read, that definitely put a smile on my face.

I love Sarah Andersen’s comics. I wish there’d been a bit more continuity to how these were all chosen, but they were all good ones. I especially like the Millennial joke ones and the reading ones. I have Andersen’s day planner and a bunch of these comics are also in there. That’s also a super fun way to use a planner and I really like it. I’ll keep reading her stuff — it always cracks me up.

Thanks to NetGalley for the early copy. I love getting to read things before they come out. :)

As always, Sarah Anderson has made a collection of funny and charming comics. It's okay to be an oddball. Other people are oddballs too. 5/5 stars

I was so glad to see Sarah still continued with Sarah's Scribbles series. All the strips were really enjoyable, and most of them still managed to make me chuckle!

My favourites in this collection were mostly the ones nudging the differences between introverts vs. extroverts - as an introvert myself, I could say they rang true!

There was one strip that caught me by surprise - page 52 if you have a copy of the book. It was about the depiction of climbing up with heavy stones representing desires to be 'better', 'smarter', and 'superior' than everyone else. In the end, it was just nice to be 'kind'. I thought this was a very nice message for everyone!

Sarah Andersen is back!
I've enjoyed the rest of the Scribbles series, as well as the standalone Fangs.
Oddball celebrates more of what makes Sarah Andersen's comics so popular--cats, weirdness, and so much more!
If you've ever felt outside of your friend group, if you've ever found the fun in a situation that probably ISN'T fun, but your method of coping makes you laugh or make it fun, this book is for you.
This book is also for you in many other ways, and as it is a short read, it's a great book to read to get to know the author's style if you have not yet read them.

I related to these comics so hard, at times I felt personally attacked but enjoyed it at the same time. I think the art style is super cute, and I wish there had been more comics to read. I haven't read any of her other collections, and now I have to. I definitely recommend picking this one out when It's released in November.

I follow Sarah Anderson on her Instagram and am a fan of her comics! Oddball is just as amazing as her other comics and I was laughing so much at some of them. I love cats too and this was so relatable in so many ways. We all feel like a little oddball sometimes and reading this reminds me a little of myself, especially the introvert bits.

I like how she related some of her content to how we are coping during the Covid pandemic and how it has changed us. Although she tried to inject some humour into it, there is still a hint of seriousness which we can again relate to. Anderson is quick to remind us to always be kind to ourselves and celebrate the small wins which is a constant reminder for me.

Thank you Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the arc.
