The guy in the upper left who looks like a character from the Blue Oyster bar from *Police Academy* wasn't intended. Poopy pants! Yes. I didn't think that through as I attempted that one. People are hard. Frustratingly hard. I don't make it easier with the overhead perspective, though that's what I need for the picture in my head.Maybe my head picture is dumb. Possibly. I didn't try any concepts. Is fine. Figures are something I need to practice anyway.

EDGARTOWN, MASSACHUSETTS. November 27, 2025 (ABF Newswire) A couple of ingenious youths from the mainland were celebrated by their Boy Scout troop after a successful mission to disrupt an estate party earlier today.

The two youths, in full Boy Scout uniform and under the guise of selling popcorn for their local troop, set off for Martha's Vineyard early in the day on a mission to deliver a mischievous payload over the guests at a palatial estate party. Once the youths arrived outside their target's property line, they configured the payload, nicknamed "Foxtrot Uniform", to a drone via a remote activated detachment mechanism. From there, it only took a couple of minutes to launch the drone, fly it over the estate garden party, and drop their surprise. The drone camera captured the entirety of the mission and was uploaded to YouTube later in the evening.

This one is a bit more thought out. Nice work, me. I get scared of committing to a bigger piece and punted with these smaller, unrefined sketches. Yeah, I get it. I don't want to commit a bunch of time and screw it all up and... I will get better the more I try and fail.

"I think the boys showed amazing ingenuity and initiative with their ability to plan and execute the undertaking," troop leader Ross Wilburn shared with reporters. "And the fox urine was a nice touch."

The boys nicknamed their special aerial present "Foxtrot Uniform" because it's a liquid mixture of fox urine and a fountain pen ink called Baystate Blue, which is lauded for its deep blue color and notorious for its staining properties. The payload contains the urine and ink mixture, a cherry bomb, and a model rocket engine igniter configured to an extra battery on the drone. When dropped, the igniter sets off the cherry bomb which disperses the urine ink mixture over the target.

"It took many tries to get the igniter to delay when the bag was released," shared one of the boys. "Our moms were pissed about the stains we came home with."

I want the pictures in my head to come out on paper and it is difficult to do. Because I need practice. I want to be awesome at it now!

"Robots merit badge acquired," quipped the other boy. "We might be able to add the movie-making badge with our drone footage and build videos."
