I have always been a fan of Sarah and none of her work disappoints. Oddball isn't an exception. I can't describe how much I adore this! It was really entertaining that I loved every single page of it. Definitely what I need for my stress reliever.

Another pearl of Sarah Andersen! I just love her work and besides laughing so much I also love that I also feel understood and less crazy! Every one of her books just brings sooo much joy, I am always happy to see them and they are the best gifts!

Thank you to NetGalley for the e-ARC of Sarah Andersen's newest, Oddball. Always enjoyable and full of the cat content we all love, this collection reflects the everyday struggles of an introvert with spooky sentimentalities, living in the midst of a pandemic. With dark humor about the generations, human interaction, and the future, you'll still smile and laugh along with the self-proclaimed Oddball's adventures.

I'm so glad she wrote another book. I loved Sarah Scribbles. Oddball was very cute and funny. She writes about real life situations from a Millennial point of view. So true, especially about feline behavior.

I've enjoyed the previous books released by Sarah Andersen and was excited to read the latest release. There are some funny and relatable comics in this, particularly ones about being introverted. A fun, quick read.

I received an advanced copy from the publisher in exchange for a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I always loved Sarah's art and this book is simply amazing. She transforms hard truths into funny pictures. I enjoyed reading this book because I could really relate to it. Sarah shows us that we're not alone and that's fine if you don't know everything you want to do with your life just yet. Rating: 4/5 stars.

I love this series. I love everything by Sarah truly. Her art is more of a quick funny joke and less like omg best drawing ever but I feel we can all relate to her. I miss my desk calendar by her i will need to buy one for 2022

Loved this! I first discovered Sarah Anderson's work via her comics being shared on Tumblr. I also occasionally check in on her social media to see new work. Just the right amount of relatable humor and a charming art style! I have seen many of these pieces previously, but Sarah's work is always a delight.

As soon as I got this, I immediately sat down and read it in one sitting. Andersen never fails to make me laugh. This felt like a hug we all needed after the last year.

"Oddball" reminds us yet again, about the way Sarah Andersen has analyzed our society and has managed to summarize us in four-panel comics. She manages to embody our everyday thoughts and small moments that make us who we are.

I will once again, ask for her to stop reading my mind.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.
I love all of Sarah's Scribbles books so far. Adulthood Is A Myth being my absolute favorite. Even though I'm a bit more in the Gen X category than Millennial, I could relate to many of these comics.
I hope she continues to publish more in the Sarah's Scribbles series.

Unfortunately, I am no longer able to download pdfs to my ipad. For some reason, when I pull up netgalley on my tablet, the navigation buttons within the site do not work (the three lines to get to the menu, the download PDF button). My tablet does not have the capability for the Netgalley shelf app.

These comics never fail to make me laugh! I absolutely adore Sarah's style of art. Witty, fun, wonderful. Definitely will be purchasing a copy of this!

Long-time fans, rejoice! The new fourth volume of Sarah's Scribbles is out! It is exactly what we're used to and exactly what we expect. It's humorous, doesn't take itself too seriously and predictably comments on the public discourse surrounding age, responsibilities, and daily struggles of being a struggling hooman.

Once again Sarah Andersen of Sarah's Scribbles hits the nail on the head with her current book of scribbles. Especially favorite is the Aging Millennial Humor gag using "chonk" "fren" etc. Too stinking funny.

Three out of five stars! Very cute, very funny, and very relatable! I have enjoyed Sarah's books in the past and this one is no exception.

Sarah's Scribbles has been a love of mine for many years, but with the pandemic and the changes in my Social Media use it ended up falling off my radar.

Opening this book was like sitting down with an old friend, talking about how things have changed, old and new stories, and inside jokes.

All throughout the book I found myself grinning, and wanting to share the panels with my friends, who I know would also find them funny and relatable.

Forgive me as I run around the room squealing, but it's here! The latest Sarah's Scribbles book is here! Oddball is a graphic novel that I have been anxiously waiting for, as I love Sarah Andersen's sense of humor and artistic style.

Oddball is the fourth book in this series, which is one part slice of life humor and one part self-confidence/appreciating everything that makes you odd. In short: I love it. Her comics always do such a good job of portraying the quirkier side of people, especially her own character (duh).

The thing I love the most about Sarah's Scribbles (who am I kidding? I love all of it) has got to be all of the 'adulting' humor laced throughout. It's so relatable. I may be an adult, but most of the time, it does not feel that way. This feeling is perfectly embodied within many of these comics, and it is hilarious.

The introvert/cat comics within this particular collection are my absolute favorites. If Sarah Andersen were to ever create a print of them, you better believe they would end up on my wall post haste.

Thanks to Andrews McMeel Publishing and #NetGalley for making this book available for review. All opinions expressed are my own.

Oddball is the 4th installment to the Sarah's Scribbles series, and it's full of funny and relatable comics. I found myself literally laughing out loud and thinking "that is SO me!" throughout the book. It's a fun, quick read if you want some laughs.

So enjoyed this book and had many laugh out loud moments. Sarah captures exactly what we think and are going through and I always relate to her books. I have a friend, that is also on Netgalley, and as soon as I see any of Sarah's books on here I immediately message her to let her know because she is a librarian and also a fan :)
