[3] Lowly also wears a shoe on the end of his tail, a blue and green tube on his body (intended to resemble a sleeveless shirt and one-legged trousers) over a singular "underpant,"[4] and a red bow tie.
His best friend is Huckle Cat, he lives in Busytown, and he has driven an apple-shaped car since The Busy World of Richard Scarry.
Lowly attends school with Huckle and plays with him and his friends, but he also takes part in more adult activities such as driving a car.
A Variety reviewer of The Busy World of Richard Scarry describes Lowly as "the real star of the series, with his goofily deprecating name and natty ensemble that includes a bow tie and single sneaker".
[6] About 500,000 Lowly Worm and Huckle Cat finger puppets, distributed by American fast food chain Taco Bell in 1993, were voluntarily recalled by Taco Bell following complaints that the puppets had become stuck to children's tongues.
