Tom's taste for police officers and felons, as well as sexual tension between the two, developed late in his career. He created his own uniform variants and invented suitably butch criminals for his cops to apprehend. The Little Book of Tom: Cops & Robbers explores this fascination through a mixture of multi-panel comics, single-panel drawings, and paintings, with historic film stills and posters, personal photos, sketches, and Toms' own reference photos.

Tom's fascination with police officers and felons, as well as the sexual tension between the two, developed late in his career. He expressed his interest in prison life, stating that it was a closed world with distinct roles and behaviors. He often fantasized about these subjects, as they were the ones that aroused him sexually. Tom's artistic creations reflected his interests, with the California Highway Patrol motorcyclists' uniforms being his favorite. He created his own uniform variants and invented suitably butch criminals for his cops to apprehend. Tom aimed to showcase both top and bottom as equally masculine roles, and his cops were as likely to engage in sexual encounters with the criminals as they were to deliver corrective coitus. While some criticized his work for glorifying power, Tom emphasized that his world was a fantasy one, where anything was possible and everything was consensual, even in prison.
The Little Book of Tom: Cops & Robbers is a captivating exploration of Tom's fascination with criminal justice. The book combines multi-panel comics, single-panel drawings, and paintings in a compact and affordable 192 pages. It features historic film stills, posters, personal photos of Tom, sketches, and Tom's reference photos, making it far more than a mere re-tread of his previous comics. The book offers a unique perspective on Tom's interests and provides a deeper understanding of his creative process. Whether you are a fan of Tom's work or interested in the world of criminal justice, The Little Book of Tom: Cops & Robbers is a must-read.
