Full description

A tall rectangular backglass illustration in a flat 1960s Spanish pinball style, bordered by a rounded-corner turquoise-to-teal field patterned with pale playing-card spades. Across the upper right runs the title 'COMODIN' in huge slanted capital letters, each a different colour (pink, orange, cream, red, yellow, orange, pink) with black outlines and drop shadows. Upper left is an ornate pink and blue baroque-style cartouche with a small smiling jester face at its crown, framing a white window containing the printed mechanical score digits '166,10'. The centre scene is a crowded gambling den: a card table in the foreground with four men playing cards, one in a pink shirt, one red-haired, one in a blue top, chips, cards, an ashtray and cigarette smoke. Behind them a red-haired man in a red top leans in. A blonde woman in a red bikini stands large on the right, one hand resting on a stool, long hair swept sideways. In the background a blonde man in a dark suit and a woman in a red dress with headscarf stand talking, a blue-haired woman drinks at the bar counter, and other blue-haired and seated patrons fill the left and right edges. Bottom left shows a fan of five playing cards, three of them queens. Bottom right a small jester figure stands on a red and yellow pinball machine, with '6' on its display. Along the bottom edge small print reads 'ES UN PRODUCTO' and 'PETACO, S.A. MADRID' beside a red script signature.
