Cartoon Tesla coil missing info

This type of depiction of the coil seems to have taken on a life of its own through video games and such, I think there should be more coverage of it and its own history given how different its cone-and-bulb construction is from the far more monolithic designs depicted in the article. The closest I can find is the talk about the mad scientist archetype under History of the Tesla coil#Use in show business, still no direct reference.
