Number 23 in the Cartoon Archive in the CSHKP genre. This has most of the bells and whistles neatly labeled, so it is a good example to illustrate this way of thinking. I do not see the hypothetical fast shock(s) at the termination of the hypothetical reconnection outflow, nor the hypothetical dimple that might appear in the closed fields, and there are ways in which this cartoon lacks observational reality; but I believe that this is because the theory is not really a predictive one yet, which is one reason that this long-running cartoon series keeps getting tweaked.
