From 2004 to 2008 the Scottish Cartoon Art Studio team illustrated Cock Tales, a comicbook sexual health resource for young gay and bisexual men. The comics were a collaboration with Healthy Gay Scotland, part of HIV Scotland, which was a body funded by the Scottish Executive. The comic dealt with safe sex and condom use as well as such diverse issues as bullying, coming out, domestic violence and civil partnerships. The comic was widely praised and not just by young LGBT Scots but across the globe; Cock Tales was exhibited as part of the Glasgay! Festival in 2005 and was the toast of the 16th International AIDS Conference, Toronto, 2006.

Tommy's distinctive covers and strips featuring Johnny & Lube, Liam + Bilal and Sammy the Squirrel were a recurring feature since the beginning and a firm favourite with readers. This gallery features artwork from past issues as well as sketches and rejected concepts that didn't make print.
