AVALAAAAAANCHE!!

Now, I imagine it must be very difficult to portray an avalanche in a daily, two-panel comic strip. The intensity, the confusion, the constant motion. That said, a guy standing around looking somewhat puzzled while a cloud emits some motion lines in the background and a light snow appears to fall does not scream "avalanche" to me. The cloud was a nice try...? Maybe it represents the speed with which Eric fell to the center of the Earth, which makes Lodi's expression all the more hilarious. "Huh, avalanche... weird."

In the strip's defense, I will say, if you have to phoenically represent the sound of thunder, "brrroooom" really isn't a bad approximation. However, it does look totally ridiculous and make me giggle. Heh! Broom.
