Answer:  “CALCU–LOSS“

(Loved the stinky pun!  But, I’ve got to call a foot-foul on the first clue word!  You cannot make a five letter word by adding an S to a four letter word.  It ain’t kosher, Bill.  It’s against the Law of the Jumble!  Just goes to show how tricky it is to put a by-the-book Jumble together.  You could have used the word SCRUM, and just changed the circles.  The other three clue words were jumbled nicely.  And, the answer letter layout was sweet!  Definitely captured the spirit of the Jumble in the cartoon, though.  A fine effort, indeed.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
