The whole song reminds me of wiggling squiggling wormy germs. Runton has published two "Owly & Wormy" children's books. This "wormy" wood has since become fashionable for its rustic character. The final tour ended in October at the Wormy Dog Saloon in OKC, Oklahoma. The final installment of "Wormy" ended the strip in the middle of an unfinished storyline. Thorne bought the artwork, and tried to convince Trampier to have his Wormy comics republished. No further "Wormy" comics were ever published. The September 1977 issue of "Dragon" (Issue #9) featured the first 6-panel comic of "Wormy". In the late 1980s, "Wormy" creator David A. Trampier abruptly vanished from public life.
