One of the most influential cartoons from the late 20th century, when the
solar community suffered considerable stress from the perceived competition
between what was meant by "solar flare" vis-a-vis by "coronal mass ejection".
One school of thought held that there was no close relationship, and this
cartoon helped that along with the graphical suggestions that CMEs don't
correlate with flares either in space or in time.
As the decades rolled by, this kind of description has become much less
important, since most of the powerful CMEs do have close relationships with
major flares. But not all of them, since
"Hyder events"
are Archived here, and since
polar-crown filament eruptions
might stealthily play a role.
In this case the Cartoonist was probably overly influenced by the sparse
data of the era.
