Fun, but not the best that this series has to offer. Although I was amused often, I laughed out loud at most a couple of times. I liked how the previous two books disrupted the comic formula near the end to go into more detail about a specific subject and missed that unexpected depth here.

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.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

I love her black kitty! I have one too, so totally relate. Especially as he plopped his ass on me minutes ago and rebelled against me moving him!
I needed that. It's wonderful to be able to rely on a brand of keenly observant humour to laugh at yourself and the world.

I love the cover art so much, lol. Just like the previous graphic novels in this series I love this one too, and would gladly read from the series if any more were to come out in the future.
