Cut tie-ins about two-dimensional elderly character? (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
old woman
'cut tie-ins about two-dimensional' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'elderly character?' is the wordplay.
'elderly' becomes 'old' (similar in meaning).
'character?' becomes 'woman' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'old'+'woman'='OLD WOMAN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for old woman that I've seen before include "The wife?" , "Fussy man (with sex change?)" .)
