Here is one of the founding cartoons of the CSHKP collection!
It clearly emphasized the three-dimensionality of the process.
The inspiration here was filament eruption (ergo the possibility of a flux rope)
rather than flare or CME, but never mind.
Note please the perhaps prescient indication of open field lines prior to
the eruption.
This is physically correct, since we know about coronal streamers, and
may make an instability easier to think about in a bipolar configuration,
but is usually omitted in later CSHKP treatments.
In common with all of them, it seems, the cartoon offers no explanation
for the inward flow (here labeled "compression").
