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 fourth collection of Sarah's Scribbles cartoons by Sarah Andersen. Due out 12th Oct 2021 from Andrews McMeel, it's 112 pages and will be available in paperback format.
This is one of a number of wildly popular internet based media juggernaut comics with which everyone is familiar even if they don't know they're familiar. I can't recall the last time I went 24 hours without seeing a custom made meme of one or another of Sarah's panels popping up on my social media feeds. This is the unadulterated pure stuff though; funny, quirky, insightful, weird, and with a lot of heart.
This collection is for us, the misfits, the introverts, the cat loving weirdos; Ms. Andersen gets it and puts it out there for all of us.The art is instantly identifiable and despite the simplicity and awkwardness and nearly non-existent perspective, she manages to cram in an ocean of expression and emotion. I love the style and even the vulnerability. I'm sure I *will* be that old lady calling kitties and puppers chonks and units and (I hope) frens. Sarah's Scribbles has become part of our everyday vernacular; quite an achievement.
Five stars. Highly recommended for anyone who has ever made social plans and then dreaded it like crazy and wished to come down with the bubonic plague to get out of going. This is for those of us who think binge watching true crime dramas alone with a pint of Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia sounds like a pretty fun evening.
