What's the sound of a woman falling on a man?

OK, so I'm here translanting this strip to English and a question arises in my mind: what's the sound of a woman falling on a man in English? I've been reading American comics for a long time and I really don't remember reading any onomatopeia that sounds good enough.

What do you guys think?

I'd use "WHUMP".

I'd add a "h" and make it "WHUMPH." Sounds more organic and breathy to me.

Yeah, 'whump!' is pretty standard.

As long as elbows and knees are avoided I'd say "Mmmm."

Hey look! I broke 100 posts! Yay me!

I would probably use "FALL!!!"

Thanks guys. I'll probably go with the WHUMPH. For some reason the letters look nice together.

Here's your prize: a woman.

Let's see what sound she makes when she lands on him.

Why change it at all? Sound effects don't need translations. CAPLOF! is perfectly fine.

That's true.

I once used "PUNCTURE!" as a sound effect.

All you did was add an "H"!

The simplest solution is usually the best.

You are a copycat! I'm even starting to doubt about all those comics that you claim stole from your old comics, if it was all true.

IVstudios · Post by **IVstudios** » Sun Dec 05, 2010 7:52 am

Why, that's patently ridicules sir! I take issue with that insinuation!

McDuffies · Post by **McDuffies** » Sun Dec 05, 2010 8:09 am

I dunno, I've totally lost faith in you.
