Another Sarah's Scribbles webcomic book that I enjoyed so much because I can relate to the parts about being introverted, cat's love, authors and other things. It made laugh a lot because it was so true and I'm happy that I'm not alone which makes you feel good, really thank you Sarah your books always help. It was so entertaining, I liked so much but I got frustrated because I finished it so fast and I wanted more, so I'm gonna re-read it like now!

Oddball is the latest collection of comics from Sarah Anderson's "Sarah's Scribbles" webcomic. Filled with cat-loving, intervorted, Millennial humour that is eminently relatable, Oddball is the slice of 2020/1 life that we need. From proscrastination to quarantine; introversion and witches, it's full of the gentle quirkiness that "Sarah's Scribbles" is known for.

Love this webcomic. Love this book.

I loved the pages of this review copy that worked! Insightful humorous and poignant these pieces capture the feelings of being an “oddball” so well. Unfortunately my copy didn’t work properly and I was not able to read the whole book - however what I was able to read left me wanting to finish and I’ll pick it up once it’s published.

I could have just given this 5 stars without reading it because I'm that certain I'd love it. But I did read it. I read it so fast a physical copy would have melted. Sarah Andersen always makes me smile. Her comics are quick and funny and highly relatable. She's a master of her craft and as long as she keeps writing comics, I'll keep reading them.

I loved this new book by Sarah Anderson. I follow her on social media and get her daily calendars and I STILL felt like I was reading a whole bunch of new stuff in Oddball.

So funny and relatable. I’m sure I’m not the only person in the world that reads her books and thinks - maybe I have another personality and she draws comics…

This did not disappoint. I don't know what it is about these silly simple drawings, but they just crack me up! I love them so much and I loved this book.

This book,,,, was absolutely incredible. I cannot tell you how many times I screamed "ME! THAT'S ME!!!!" or how many times I laughed out loud because I did so many times. It's like Sarah Anderson can see into my soul or something because I related to so much of this book in how I feel, what life is like, and how I am as a person. I will gratefully scoop up any crumb of comics she writes or any book of comics she publishes because they are just so darn good and relatable!

HAHAHA it was really satisfying to read this book, each page made me laugh enormously, it represents many situations very well with just a few vignettes, the drawing style of the author Sarah Andersen is incredibly cool, that cartoon design really caught me, each page It is a compliment, everything is very beautiful and it is really very funny!

I would 100% recommend reading it, plus it is super short, I finished it incredibly fast, a very pleasant read to pass the time

Unfortunately I was not able to access this book. The PDF download kept coming up as an error on both my laptop and phone.

I hate to not leave a real review but since I cannot access I do not see any other choice.

As always, Sarah Andersen throws it out of the park with her little comics that speak to anyone who considers themselves to be an introvert or who suffers from anxiety, a book lover/artist, or someone who just loves fluffy little creatures like doggos and kitties.

I always love her work and definitely suggest that her books are great for libraries because, since the comics are offered on the web first, I wouldn't necessarily purchase the book for personal use. For libraries though, it's great!

I pretty much inhaled this within a single sitting and I absolutely adored it! I’ve read other collections of comics by Sara Scibbles, and this one was just as amazing and hilarious if not more so. There were countless moments where I was saying, “That’s so me!” Definitely recommending this one!!

Thanks to NetGalley for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to Andrews McMeel Publishing, NetGalley and Sarah Anderson for the e-ARC.

Sarah Andersen delivers a funny, relatable and heartwarming graphic novel.
After seeing the memes float all over the social media and having read Fangs I could not stop myself from peeking inside this edition (I will for sure be going back and reading previous editions.

My favorite thing is how Sarah integrates humor with actual problems people in their 20s come across - for example feeling like you've wasted your life if you haven't achieved specific goals by the age of 21. This pressure the society places on us is unreal, especially taking into consideration the last 2 years that we've spent locked away due to the panini.

I LOVE Ruthless cats who who are never afraid to put their human back into their place & this book is filled with adorable drawings of our 4 legged demons. Anything that has to do with cats has my full and undivided attention - even if they are causing mischief like poltergeists.

I love the procrastination and self-deprecation jokes. I don't love how much I relate to them but love them nonetheless.

Sarah's work is filled with heart, humour and a message that tells you to be as kind to yourself as you are to others. A perfect funny read to lift ones spirits and talk about with friends who are as weird as you are.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

Sarah Anderson's hilariously relatable comics strike again! Each page hit so close to home, while allowing the space to relate and feel included in the terrifying thing that we call "life". Also that thing called "adulting". I can't wait to own a physical copy of this collection to read whenever I need to feel a little less lonely and a lot more seen.

I highly recommend anyone who has anxiety or feels more like a cat than a person some days should read this book. All of Sarah's comics are lovely and comforting to all of us weirdos and oddballs and this collection is no exception. A wonderful read worth repeating over and over.

The illustrations are cute and some of the comics are genuinely funny. This book shows that it's okay to be odd and to have different interests than society, however, I don't think it really explores deeper stuff. It's still good, though. I still recommend it to others. I just wanted more from it.

The fourth Sarah's Scribbles book is sure to please fans. Easy=to-read short comics make this book a light-hearted breeze.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic copy to read and review.

Be weird. Be odd. Be YOU. This book celebrates all the weird, odd, and unique things that make you yourself. I love it. Cat lovers and introverts will relate!

This was very fun! This is the fourth collection of Sarah Andersen's illustrations. I follow her on social media so had already seen some of these but I still loved it! Something about the simple illustration style and dark humor really entertains me. This instalment made most of the jokes about being millenial, introverted and loving pets. I especially really loved the ones about cats and frogs. In conclusion, really fun and cute!
