For those not familiar with tom’s brief but illustrious career, here are some helpful links:

tom starts a thread
tom introduces himself (in verse)
tom sings happy birthday to Lottie
tom joins a game started by fellow-bot lucyyenic
tom fields an all-spambot team in the 2013 Arda Cup
tom graciously welcomes a new member
tom falls in love with another spambot
the tragic romance of tom and peppeateCat
tom mourns his lost love

I´m not sure about the quality of the pic, since it´s a pretty huge and had to be photographed. Originally it´s watercolor

Not only did Lucy start a popular and long-running quiz thread, she even won a WW game!
