%%* Snoopy's doghouse, in [[http://gocomics.com/peanuts/1963/02/16/ a 1963]] ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' strip.
to:
* ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'': Happens a few times, including the February 9, 1986 strip (in which Garfield is buried under an avalanche of clothes hangers) and the March 9, 1986 strip (in which Jon opens a closet and is drenched because he accidentally turned Garfield's water collection loose).
* ''Literature/HannahSwensen'': A variant in ''Blueberry Muffin Murder'', where it's not opening the door that causes the problem. Instead, Hannah's friend Janie had been trying to retrieve Hannah's cat Moishe from the walk-in closet in her guest room, where Hannah keeps mounds of old clothing that she keeps meaning to take to the thrift store. While she's in there, the closet pole (which Hannah admits has been loose for some time) gives way, burying her in an avalanche of all the clothes that were hanging on it. It takes several trips, with an armload each, before Hannah can pull enough clothes out of the closet to uncover Janie. (Moishe, meanwhile, turns out to have hopped up on the top shelf.)
