The Wiggler (Bally, 1967) JB

Completely re-drawn as vector graphic by me.

Another great back glass with the fantastic art of Jerry Kelley. Not many good pictures around of this one.

This is one of the glasses, which was also available in German, but the German version is just called "Wiggler". I'm pretty sure the guys in Chicago had a hard time to translate the "The". In German it  could be "der, die or das" depending if the subject is male, female or neutral. None of these make really sense, if you don't translate "Wiggler". Wiggler is  "Wackler" in German, so this wasn't an option. But since there is a lady shown, climbing a ladder, they would have to use the female form "Die", but then the would have to be consequent and say "Die Wigglerin", which could confuse some Enlish speakers, why shoud she die? I think at that moment someone said, "Let's just delete the "The"!" And everyone was happy and ready for a beer....
