Brilliant. Sarah's work is so relatable, and I feel so seen whenever I read it (perhaps TOO seen...). I laughed out loud on most pages, or said 'awwh' at the surprisingly touching moments. Just love this. (sad to miss out on the stickers though.)

3.5 stars

There's not much to say about this. It was good, but also boring. Past collections of this artist/author have been better. Only really liked a few of the comic "strips" in this. Kind of feel like she's running out of ideas/material.

Hilarious, relatable, and the art are adorable !

Oddball is an interesting collection of comic strips about being a cat parent, an introvert, and having equally weird friends. If that doesn't describe who I am right now, I don't know what will.

If you're looking for something funny to just take your mind off of things, then this book is a perfect fit !

Sarah Andersen remains one of my favorite comic artists. Her comics are both relatable and hilarious and at almost everyone I see myself in them. I highly recommend Oddball along with all of her other books. I cannot wait to see what else she comes out with in the future.

Sarah Andersen comics are my favorite kind of comics. Mostly because they are way too relatable for me, and there is just so much humor! I laughed out loud a lot. The topics vary from cats/pets, being different/introverted, friendships and daily life as a millennial, pop culture and preaches a bit of self care and kindness. I loved it and I’ll definitely read it again. Over and over again probably lol! And yay for the yellow cover!

I received a free e-copy through Netgalley but it hasn’t influenced my opinion.

This is an adorable collection on short and funny comics.
I follow her on instagram and when I saw I could read this I immediately requested it.
The comics were very relatable, so if you have pets, are socially awkward or an artist this book is perfect for you!

This book was wildly relatable for me in various areas. I thought the author's depiction of life as an introvert especially using books as a form of escapism was perfectly captured in a funny and palpable way. The simplicity in the illustrations added to the overall charm even though at first, the one page strips threw me off. I definitely recommend this for anyone in need of a short and charming read!

Sarah Andersen never fails to make relatable comics. Following the format of her other Sarah Andersen 4-panel comics, enters Oddball.

Oddball captures what being introverted, a little odd, an oversharer, a little socially awkward, a millennial and so much more. The lead character is hilarious and just so relatable. I've never related this much to anything in my life!

Sarah Andersen's latest installment in her popular Sarah's Scribbles series is another wonderful comic collection about everyday life which I feel many people can relate to. There are topics covered here she stays true to like being an introverted person, loving cats and having anxiety. I do feel like this one was a bit more repetitive than the previous ones in collection, but I still loved it and I'd gladly recommend the entire series. This one was worth the wait.

Thanks to the Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing me with eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Sarah Andersen is always funny and relatable. Touches very briefly on quarantine life in a humorous way, and still offers an escape from the world around us. I will definitely be buying a copy to peruse again!

As a fan of Sarah Andersen, perhaps this review is a bit biased, but I very much enjoyed this collection. Once again, Andersen is able to create art that is both relatable and funny. I've always recommended her works for anyone that is trying to get out of a reading slump. Just reading one of her comics isn't enough, you'll want to read more. Overall, this comic was a fun ride and allows older readers to feel a bit kid like in laughing and relating to the content inside. For anyone wondering, this comic is similar to her other works, although it does touch on a few new topics.

Sarah Andersen is a master of relatability (granted, I am approximately her target audience). Her comics are simple and direct and super relaxed. This is a gentle, quick, light-hearted read - a quick breath of cool air, but it won't sustain you.

Reading Oddball, like her other work, is exactly like sitting next to a friend of yours that you like but don't know well enough. You share stories and you end up saying "I know right?!", and "Me too!" and a wonderful kinship which comes from it.

This was great. I had a big grin on my face for some, laughed out loud on others, and felt seen in others. The artwork is perfect. I'd recommend this book for any coffee table other than one in a very religious church. :D

I thought this was a lot of fun to read. Andersen's comics are lovely, and her simple style is evocative and made me smile a lot. She is quite perceptive, and almost all of the comics worked for me.

Let me just begin this review by saying: I love Sarah Anderson's comics SO MUCH! Reading through it brought me so much joy -- the relatability of a cat-loving, book-reading, easily-obsessed-with-new-internet-things, introvert is just *chef's kiss*. I see myself in it, and enjoy the art style too! I was sad when it ended, and just wish it was longer than 114 pages; there were some comics I had already seen on Instagram, but also lots of new ones.

I loved Sarah Anderson’s work. She is one of my favourite contemporary artists. Most of what she draws, I feel like she draws for me. Her love for cats and dogs, her passions for books, her introverted nature, her overthinking,… so many of her comic themes resonate with me. Even when a theme has no direct connection in my life – she sketches a lot about authors, for instance, and I have no wish to be one, I still find them relatable and hilarious. I guess you can already predict where I am going with this. I loved this book!!! Go for it!!! This has become my favourite volume of ‘Sarah’s Scribbles’, toppling “Adulthood is a Myth” from its pedestal.

My only two regrets:
1. Why wasn’t it longer?
2. Why did I complete it in one sitting?
Sigh.

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

Sarah Andersen deserves to be at the top of any bestselling chart because she's a genius.
Her comics are cute but they're also the excellent portrait of generation and/or some humans :)
Love her works, highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

I am, probably, a Millennial. (Or an Xennial, if you prefer; I'm on a generational cusp.) I have cats. I have anxiety. I have obsessive interests. I am awkward in person. That means that this book was basically written for and about me. Like the previous books in the series, Sarah Anderson once again manages to touch on a lot of very true things and to make them funny, things like the way a cat with its belly exposed is awfully like a bear trap waiting to be sprung or how absolutely insane people my age are going to sound when we're old. I'm not sure it will be as relatable to everyone - well-adjusted dog people may not find it as funny - but if you enjoyed Anderson's other works or if you, too, are an awkward-in-person, cat-having, anxious Mill-or-Xennial, this book will make you feel seen in the funniest of ways.

2.5
well, I follow her on Instagram and I've seen some of these before. I still relate to some of them but in general, it wasn't my favorite.

Gotta love Sarah's Scribbles. These are always so relatable. I enjoy the quick and easy artwork, how the panels are simple and flow into one another with ease. Her humor is the perfect balm for the existential dread that encompasses the millennial experience.
