What is the disadvantage of short and fat fuselage?

What is the disadvantage of short and fat fuselage? Correct Answer Higher supersonic wave drag

Wave drag is the supersonic phenomena. Wave drag does not exist for incompressible flow. Short and fat fuselage will offer minimization of the wetted area. This gives advantage in terms of friction properties. However, it suffers from higher wave drag at supersonic speeds.
