Today’s Get Fuzzy has convinced me that “wump” is one of the funniest words in the English language. It’s combines the impact of “thump” with the playfulness of “wiggle,” and when it’s used to accentuate the image of a burly dog smacking a surly cat upside the head, the result is comic gold. But despite the terrific execution, I think the premise of this strip strains credibility. As a lifelong cat owner, I can testify that no one, not even the most stealth among us, could possibly tape something to a feline’s head without the animal knowing about it. Believe me, I’ve tried.
