Peanuts, for example, are shelled inside fancy cast iron pot (5,7)

I believe the answer is:

strip cartoon

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'peanuts for example' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'are shelled inside fancy cast iron pot' is the wordplay.
'shelled' means to look at the middle letters (the outer letters or shell are removed).
'inside' is an insertion indicator.
'fancy' indicates an anagram.
The middle letter of 'are' is 'r'.
'cast'+'iron'+'pot'='castironpot'
'castironpot' with letters rearranged gives 'stipcartoon'.
'r' inserted inside 'stipcartoon' is 'STRIP CARTOON'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for strip cartoon that I've seen before include ""Peanuts", for instance" , "Item in a comic" , "Funny" , "Eg, Peanuts" , "series of drawings" .)
