I always thought it was lollylag. Like you were lagging while lollying. Interestingly enough, lolly is completely devoid of any connection to lagging, dawdling, procrastinating… but lagging means to fall behind or fail to keep up. Gagging on the other hand provokes dirty mind pictures. Lollygag seems like it should mean gagging on a lolly (lollipop)…. man English is weird.
Skip: You guys. You lollygag the ball around the infield. You lollygag your way down to first. You lollygag in and out of the dugout. You know what that makes you? Larry!
Larry: Lollygaggers!
Skip: Lollygaggers.
I hate driving lollygaggers the most. They make the green light going five under the speed limit. The four cars behind them that should have made the green light as well are stuck through a light change cycle.
I know the feeling. I have never knowingly lollygagged in recent memory. I’m deathly afraid of being late for anything. Someday maybe, when I’m old and retired I can become a proficient dawdler
lollygaggin’ around with them picks and them shovels.. you’d think it was 120 degrees out here! cant be more than 114! Wow thanks for making me think of blazzing saddles; possibly the greatest movie ever made.
So am I the only one whos OCD is tickled by “…made a startling revelation”? You either *have* a revelation or you *make* an observation. Well, at least I’m posting this a month late. Off to some more lollygagging…
That is what i always feel like when i am the first person to show up!
…or the first person to comment…
Me too. The social anxiety is near overwhelming. “So, uh, you want me to help set up or something?”
I love the eyebrows. Have there been any before? I don’t recall any.
I like to “lollygag” as much as I can.
😉
Now that I think of it, it’s more like a meandering between the lollygagging within the mundane while I fissile through the day.
“Fissile” isn’t a verb. It’s an adjective meaning either cleavable or fissionable.
I always immediately think of this YouTube video:

At least it’s not spelled loligag. I don’t want to think about the implications of that.
even weirder for a french speaker xD
great comic
Love the eyebrows in panel 1! And a warm welcome to Grandpa Bug (I think he’s a new one?) 🙂
I don’t think it’s official until we’ve seen him at least twice.
But yea, grampa bug is loooooong overdue! (And welcome.)
I love how serious Dad Bug always looks with his glasses on.
He reminded me of my dad.
What movie am I thinking of?
(Hint: the late Trey Wilson ….)
Blame Adam.
I’m guessing you drew Old-bug first and then thought of gnomes. Kudos on continually drawing interesting new characters.
the couch makes it seem like grampa bug (grambug) is wearing a gnome hat himself. or an egg.
awesome comic as always
bwhahahaha, flying gnomes… awesome.
Bull Durham.

Amen to that. Stupid tourists around here lollygag on the roads near the lake, acting like they’ve never seen a body of water before.
Great comic, btw. I myself have never been known to lollygag much. I point my finger squarely at my grandma’s nagging for that one.
Aye. Ten points! (I have no idea what the points are worth. But, still ….)
That was hilarious! Well done, Adam. I’d also like to say I love the pose that Bug strikes in the 3rd panel haha
HAHA!
I’m Mr. Punctual,
Some times I try to be late but some how end up being either first or even 15-20 minutes early.
We could all use a good lollygag every so often. I love that word. 😀
The third panel made me burst out laughing. “GAH! I’m such a tool!”

In band you have to be early or the director kills you. still awkward being first.
Have you ever tried piddlefarting? The kids love it!
Bwahahaha love it
<3

hmmm it seems like the funniest panel is always the third panel 😮
So what, exactly, is the difference between a lollygag, a dillydally and a dwadle?
You know, after looking through many Bug comic strips, I think this is my favorite thus far. I just really love it.

Beware of the face-goblins!
No lollygaggin’.
