Fatman
1985

A sketch of two cartoonish spherical bombs on wheeled platforms. The larger bomb is labeled "Fatman" and features a more detailed design with fins and a complex tail assembly. Below it, a smaller, simpler version of the bomb has a face, arms, and legs, giving it a character-like appearance. The drawing is annotated with the text "T.O. 10/85" in the bottom left corner, suggesting a date.
