Sarah Andersen never fails. This latest Sarah's Scribbles collection is all about the weirdos, the procrastinators, the millennials and the great friendships. Also, cats.

As usual, you'll find yourself laughing out loud. At least I did.

Once again, Sarah Andersen provides another fun and relatable comic collection. Her simple drawings and silliness are very easy read and also to relate to. This is going to be another great one for fans of her work.

I really like Andersen’s comics. They’re fun and oftentimes really relatable. Oddball was no exception.

This book made me so happy. I love this author (I follow her on Instagram) and although I've seen some of these comics before, there were a lot of new ones and I loved them! This would make a great coffee table book.

I think I’m exactly the target audience for Oddball. Like Sarah Andersen, I’m an introverted, anxious twenty-something who prefers cats to people. (I also spend a lot of time looking at memes.) What’s great about this book is that Andersen deftly taps into experiences that are common to younger millennials, so the comics in this book are hugely relatable. As I read, I kept wanting to send certain pages to friends and say, “Look at this! It’s so true!” There’s one comic, on page 60, about staying up late that I kind of want to print and hang on my wall.

My only qualm with this book is that a lot of it feels like variations on memes and Internet jokes I’ve seen before—maybe because I have seen a lot of these comics on the Internet before they were published here. There are a lot of jokes about cats, for instance, and how they can be graceful one minute and clumsy the next, or how they act aloof while their humans love them. But at the same time, Andersen tells these jokes so well and with so much charm that I honestly don’t mind that I’ve seen some of them before. Oddball made me feel a little less alone, and that is pretty awesome.

As a millennial cat lady - I approve! Oddball is laugh out loud funny and relatable. I seriously chuckled at the part when the cats are dancing in a circle in hell. Basically, I laughed at any of the parts pertaining to cats. This is a fun series of comics relatable to millennials and Gen Zers alike. There are comics featuring the impending doom of climate change, friendships, witchcraft & general spookiness, and so much more. I loved the silliness and quirkiness in each of the comics. The art style is simple, but cute and effective. I will definitely be checking out more of this artists' work in the future.

I had so much fun with reading experience. Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the ARC copy.

I was excited to read this book as I've seen a few comics online, which I loved. This book did not disappoint; it’s filled with a fun and unique assortment of comics. The comics ranged in topics from social awkwardness, the pandemic, pets, introverts, and more. Being both a millennial and an introvert, these comics related to me and made me smile. It was a nice pick-me-up and provided some much-needed comic relief.

Thank you so much to the publisher and NetGalley for a digital ARC in exchange for an honest review. The opinions expressed in this review are my own and will be published on my social media blog on October 12th, 2021.

In this fourth comic collection, Oddball: A Sarah's Scribbles Collection, Sarah Andersen fans may identify with many scenarios presented; from procrastinating on things, to being pet owners, to the creative process, to being a craze fan for various media and internet culture, and introversion versus extroversion. I've seen Andersen's comics floating around the Internet and it still amazes me how much I can stop whatever I am doing to check out and relate to her comics. Her humorous and awkwardly cute illustrations are easy to follow and gives me a good laugh every time I finish one. My personal favorites are the quarantine life comics, the scenarios between friends and their obsessions with memes and media (especially with fictional characters), and the relationships between an author and a reader.

What I love the most are the comics' messages. It reminds us how everyone is an oddball in their own unique way. There will always be others who we will have a connection with because they have the same interests as us. It is the matter of finding them. They are out there. Also, it addresses how there is no need to compare ourselves with others and our past selves when we have come so far in our lives, even if there are expectations put on us. The comics teaches us how to be comfortable in our own skin, being kind to one another and setting boundaries, acknowledging our growth, and accepting where we are in the present moment.

Filled with honesty and pure amusement, this comic collection will surely put a smile on anyone's faces during these trying times, especially for young adults and the target millennial audience.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an e-arc of this book. I love this author/illustrator. I have seen their work in the past and still find myself laughing out loud at their comics. These make me feel like the little things in life are worth appreciating especially when they are a bit offbeat. Some of the panels gave me vague "not like other girls" vibes which comes with a certain set of minor issues but nothing I'm overly concerned about.

With Oddball, Sarah Andersen comes through yet again with her characteristically observant and irreverently amusing comics about the ins and outs of anxiety and introvert-ism, the complex connection we have with cats, the absurdities of internet culture and the ocean-wide chasm between generational cohorts.

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for kindly passing on this ARC! 💫

I love books like this! Sometimes you just need a fun book filled with comics to take some of the stress away. I thought this book was particularly interesting because it's super relatable to Millennials and Gen Z readers. A lot of these relate to being the weird, introverted person and, of course, cats. If you find yourself feeling down and need something to make you feel a little lighter, this is the perfect collection of comics! I also just love how funny some of the expressions are that the characters have!

This was a fun and lightheartedly collection of comics. I love the ones relating to books, and featuring cats the best. I didn't love this as much as I've loved her collections in the past, but they still made me smile. The final comic was definitely my favourite!

I am almost one hundred percent positive that I have already seen every single comic in this book online. Yet although none of these were new to me, I still wore a smile that stretched from ear to ear as I enthusiastically read through “Oddball” from cover to cover. As a socially awkward millennial introvert, I continue to fall as squarely into the “Sarah’s Scribbles” target audience as I did when I first discovered and started reading Sarah Anderson’s popular online comic a few years back, and find that it still continues to bring me both joy and a relieved sense of feeling seen in all my own personal peculiarity.

As always Sarah Andersen's sense of humor is brilliant, and her comics really makes you laugh with various things that we can identidy with: the pandemic of 2020, halloween items, cats, anxiety...

If you want to spend a good time, pick one of her comics because they are GREAT!
