Another silly, goofy, lovely gem from Sarah Andersen. If you love her drawings and earlier work, you would love this too. There are strips about millennial problems (and the other generations), cats (of course), generation gap, the 'artist' problems, quarantine routines. I always enjoy Sarah Andersen's comics and yes, I chuckled, laughed (Tik tok dance? Detours (That's totally me)? witches?) and pointed saying 'good one' at many of them. Perfect to flip through and immediately make your day better.

I really love Sarah Andersen works, so I was excited about the new book!
I got the familiar humour and cuteness in this book. Some of the comics was familiar from earlier, but it has new topics, like cat owner's life, friendship. But I find in it the usual topics too: millenials, introverted everyday life.
It was fun, but it didn’t give much novelty anymore.

I read Sarah’s first collection and enjoyed it, so I was excited for this one. However, other than a handful of standout comics, this was just ok. Much of the focus was on cats and millennial humor, which doesn’t land as well for me as a dog-loving Gen-Xer. I may simply be the wrong audience. Thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book was absolutely amazing! So many of the comics feel Ike your inner thoughts and feelings revealed. Others you read and all of a sudden realize this is a totally true experience defined!

Loved every page of this book!

Thanks to NetGalley for this review copy!
I've never met a Sarah's Scribbles book I didn't like, and this was no exception. I always just wish there were more!

Hilarious as always! If you like any of the previous Sarah Andersen books, then you will like this one!

I always enjoy Sarah Anderson's comics. They're so funny and relatable! I look forward to seeing more books from Anderson.

Oddball is a fantastic and relatable compilation of short comics from Sarah Andersen. This hilarious collection will make you smile and laugh aloud. I particularly loved the comics featuring witches and cats! Andersen captures powerful introvert moments and moods specific to the pandemic. It is short and sweet, making it the perfect compilation for anyone who is a fan of Andersen’s art. Andersen depicts moments relatable to introverts, cat lovers, witches, and provides reassurance that oddballs everywhere are not alone. Oddball releases November 30, 2021. Thank you to Sarah Andersen, Andrews McMeel Publishing, and Netgalley for a free ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

As a fellow introvert, procrastinator, pet lover, anxious millennial and awkward human, I enjoyed this collection. Some of the comics were quite funny and relatable.

I am deeply concerned that this "Sarah Andersen" did not feel it appropriate or necessary to contact me before publishing a biography of me, personally and specifically, particularly if this author was going to include such detailed and accurate drawings of my daily life. That is the only explanation I can imagine as to why every single comic in this book made me go "AhahahahahOW." How else could anyone so exactly and hilariously capture how I am feeling all of the time? How does Sarah Andersen know that leggings turn me into a weirdo with elastic limbs? Or about my sporadic need to switch to FROLIC mode? Or what a beautiful perfect idiot my cat is?? Very spooky. But as this book will tell you, I love spooky. 5 stars, no notes, why am I misty-eyed about a four-panel comic featuring Medusa? A+

I might be in the minority on this one but I wasn't that impressed and didn't find the cartoons to be funny. I was interested in reading Oddball because Sarah Andersen's books are always featured in the Goodreads Choice Awards for graphic novels, but this just wasn't for me.

I really enjoy Sarah Andersen's style, her vignettes are super cute but the books always feel a bit too short. I wish there was more to read. I would hesitate to buy it for myself because of that, which is a pity as I do really enjoy her work.

I've learned to love any and all books by Sarah Andersen! They're so relatable and hit a tad bit too close to home in ways I never thought I would experience. Her comics are funny, sad, and heartbreaking at different moments. They're a great escape from the real world and I would recommend them tremendously!

* I received an eARC of this novel from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

Sarah hits the nail on the head every. single. time. A hilarious read for anyone but especially those with anxiety issues. My only criticism is that it's over too soon! Keep up the good work, Sarah! We hear you!

Sarah Scribbles nails it again as usual. Each collection is so fun, relatable and makes me laugh out loud. One of my faves artists to follow online, and her collections are so wonderful - Oddball is no exception.

Prepare to laugh yourself silly with Sarah Andersen’s latest installment for her graphic novel collection ‘A Sarah Scribbles Collection’. I laughed so hard reading this graphic novel that there were times when I had to literally put it down and walk away to give my sides a chance to stop hurting!

Funny, smart and so relatable, Sarah tackles a wide range of topics- anxiety, mental health, procrastination, Gen Z and Millennial, Tik Tok, aliens, the mystery of women’s bathroom queues and being a cat lover; just a small selection of the witty and candid observations by the author. My favourites have to be the explanation for why witches have black cats, aging millennial humour and women’s bathroom queues.

The illustrations were brilliant (the facial expressions of the figures are so good!) and Sarah’s observations were right on point. Most of the stories within the book are on one page; so easy to flick through and to find something funny to suit your current mood! I can honestly say that I haven’t laughed so hard in ages.

This graphic novel reminds me so much of the Farside Gallery graphic novels which I used to love reading when I was younger. Now I have to go and get my hands on the rest of Sarah’s collection!! We are all oddballs in our own quirky ways and Sarah’s Oddball taps into that perfectly! I’m definitely going to purchase Oddball (and get a copy for my sister who is obsessed with cats). The perfect book for your coffee table and one to share with your friends, family and fellow oddballs (also I am super excited to see what the sticker set looks like- got to love stickers!).

Oddball will be published on the 30th November 2021. Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the ARC of one of the funniest books/graphic novels I have read in a long time.

Sarah Anderson discusses cats, fandom, procrastination, and other facets of the awkward Millennial experience with her signature silliness and bug-eyed caricatures. Though less personal than her previous collection of comics, old and new fans will find much to enjoy.

I needed this spot of sunshine. I have been a fan of Sarah's comics for a long time now and this did not disappoint. I loved all the millennial jokes and hope there are more in the future. Highly recommend for anyone who needs a very good laugh.

<i>Thanks to Netgalley for the e-arc in return for an honest, if short, review.</i>

I could just not open this file… is this happened to anybody with Netgalley files?? I tried everything, laptop, ipad, I even downloaded programs that should open it and they just couldn’t. I don’t know what type of file this “acsm” is, but even the Adobe reader could not open it.
So I can’t really rate this properly unfortunately, but I love Sarah Scribbles, and I am sure that this turned out great too, so I am gonna give the 5 star.

Thank you NetGalley! I thought Oddball was great! I enjoy Sarah's cartoons as they always make me laugh. This is a perfect book to have if I ever needed cheering up. Absolutely delightful and relatable!
