Abstract
We survey several occurrences of combinatorics of words and morphisms in the pieces of Tom Johnson, showing in particular that some of the sequences of notes that he used intuitively can be interpreted or constructed through combinatorial objects such as morphisms. Furthermore some of these sequences have an independent interest in number theory and theoretical computer science.
