reluctant to return, although he does consider Hilda a good friend.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". According
to Scarry's widow, Lowly was his favorite fictional creation.
