The cartoon

This cartoon has survived to the second edition of the author's article in the Living Reviews series, and so it may seem justified that it be called a "Standard Model". The main merit here is the nice color scheme, but it's worth a comment. "Standard model" to an X-ray or radio astronomer has to do with energy transport in a flaring loop, nominally but not probably via an electron beam. To the optical and UV astromers, and their theoretical minions, "standard model" has to do with MHD and CSHKP. This Archive contains several much more elaborate versions.
