Dismantle vehicle for the purpose of working a series of panels (5,7)
I believe the answer is:
strip cartoon
'series of panels' is the definition.
'strip cartoon' can be an answer for 'series' (I have seen 'series of drawings' mean 'strip cartoon' so perhaps 'series' could also mean 'strip cartoon'). I'm unsure of the 'of panels' bit.
'dismantle vehicle for the purpose of working a' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'dismantle' could be 'strip' (synonyms) and 'strip' is present in the answer.
'vehicle' could be 'cart' (cart is a kind of vehicle) and 'cart' is found in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found within the answer.
'working' could be 'on' (on can mean working or activated) and 'on' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for strip cartoon that I've seen before include "Item in a comic" , "Eg, Peanuts" , ""Peanuts", for instance" , "Sequence of drawings in paper" , "series of drawings" .)
