Jean AKA Jeannie AKA Jeanie is a film, book, and magazine reviewer for a national magazine. Most of Jean’s work is done through email, which means he doesn't have to go into the office.
On a trip to find a gift for his girlfriend, Jean found an empty Genie Bottle. Upon picking up this bottle, Jean became the bottle’s new genie-powered occupant. Not only was Jean turned into a genie, but the bottle turned him into what he believed a genie of the bottle should look like. Which, due to his fascination with a classic 60s TV show, turned him into a busty blonde woman.
A junior engineer working for a small engineering firm in Cocoa Beach. The firm focuses mostly on NASA projects.
Neil is Jean’s best friend. When Jean was turned into a genie, Neil became Jeanie’s master.
That’s one quick way to stop the fight without walking into the field of fire. Let’s see if Jean will let the boys have the chance to explain that Sam is not a genie (and explain to Sam that Jean is not a witch).
Meanwhile, back in Roger’s kitchen, the pasta has been cooking for, what, seven weeks now, so it’s maybe time he checked on his niece, or at least asks who the heck she’s talking to.
But at the beach, Jean is mad at Neil. What does Jean do when she’s mad at Neil? Maybe we’ll see Natalie back at the Hiram?
But assuming Uncle Roger doesn’t show up quite yet, what would Caley want from her very own genie? Maybe being changed into a grownup so that Neil will take her seriously?
Really? and on what tidbit of information are you basing THAT supposition on? Remember, this is a ‘girl’ that changed an entire tuna boat to females because one (1, mind you!) of the crew insulted her.
Maybe more than two. Caley might ask Araceli to turn her into a grownup–or Araceli might kiddify herself to hang with Caley around Roger without letting on that she’s a genie. Or combine the two: the real Caley goes to put moves on Neil while Araceli, disguised as Caley, stays behind to keep Uncle Roger out of the way…
Neil: Master if the Genie bottle who hardly makes any wishes or wills his genie into doing things for him because he’s a good natured guy who is down to Earth and content.
…
Yeah I get that, but sometimes you’d think he’d enforce something for security seeing Jean is the genie. Anyway, good luck to you Neil (Derrick too), you’ll need it.
Yes, but Jean decided to stay with Neal because (choose one or more):
1) He didn’t want to desert his best pal.
2) He’s been secretly attracted to Neil all along.
3) If he didn’t stay with Neil, Lord Guano would make him spend 100 years in his/her bottle.
Bit hard to do when you still think of her as your best friend rather than a genie, also hard to do to someone who can turn you into an exotic dancer if you tick her off.
Why the broom? Maybe to sweep up the body parts at the end of the duel. (Come to think of it, the beach is probably covered with bits of crab and lobster by now…)
From what I know, djinn are listed just below angels in terms of power. So, no matter how much more popular Sam’s show was, Jeannie should be able to take her.
But Sam actually studies magic while Jean just wings it. Jean has already gotten disembodied once and made a shark tank out of Neil’s room. Care to bet against her never making another screw-up?
While we’re on the subject of the duel, is it really over? Look down the left-hand margin again and check the last choice on the survey. Doesn’t that hint that Lord Birdcrap and the Mother-in-Law From Hell have parts yet to play in this contest of (half) wits?
Neil! You are her Master! Show no fear! They can sense fear!
Ah, screw it, yer doomed. Swat her on the ass and tell her she’s a bad girl. What the hey. Might as well get some fun out of it.
Wow. Two comics in a week.
Yup, CD’s on a roll. In fact, all of this week’s SS.org comics are already done, and scheduled to go up at their usual times.
That’s one quick way to stop the fight without walking into the field of fire. Let’s see if Jean will let the boys have the chance to explain that Sam is not a genie (and explain to Sam that Jean is not a witch).
Why does Derrick have a broom?
Maybe it’s Sam’s broom? Though, why Derrick would have it I don’t know.
Maybe when you rub a witch’s broom…
I don’t want to see any comics with some guy rubbing his broomstick.

“What does Jean do when she’s mad at Neil?”
Pants full of crabs, maybe?
He could have rubbed the bottle at the apartment and Poofed back to the beach.
No – that would have left him at the apartment alone with a ticked-off genie.
At least this way, with witnesses, maybe Jeannie won’t be quite as inventive in thinking up an appropriate retribution…
Really? and on what tidbit of information are you basing THAT supposition on? Remember, this is a ‘girl’ that changed an entire tuna boat to females because one (1, mind you!) of the crew insulted her.
Ah – but there were no witnesses … the boat was at sea and the only “witnesses” were the people she did it to.
Then how about a certain red-haired co-ed actress?
More likely Jean would have Natalie’d Neil again, poofed him to the strip club, and then poofed herself back to the beach to finish the duel.
Doesn’t Jean still have to obey Neil’s wishes?
Two new girls, coming right up!
Maybe more than two. Caley might ask Araceli to turn her into a grownup–or Araceli might kiddify herself to hang with Caley around Roger without letting on that she’s a genie. Or combine the two: the real Caley goes to put moves on Neil while Araceli, disguised as Caley, stays behind to keep Uncle Roger out of the way…

He used up his three wishes real early.
Yes, but Jean decided to stay with Neal because (choose one or more):
1) He didn’t want to desert his best pal.
2) He’s been secretly attracted to Neil all along.
3) If he didn’t stay with Neil, Lord Guano would make him spend 100 years in his/her bottle.
Yeah. I was replying to Mulgorath wondering why Neil didn’t lay down the law.
Bit hard to do when you still think of her as your best friend rather than a genie, also hard to do to someone who can turn you into an exotic dancer if you tick her off.
When someone rubs the bottle, not only does Jean appear, Jean changes outfits, too…
…and her hair gets fixed.
Why the broom? Maybe to sweep up the body parts at the end of the duel. (Come to think of it, the beach is probably covered with bits of crab and lobster by now…)
Sam the witch wins via forfeit
That’s right.
Left the playing field without calling a time-out.
Loser buys the drinks!

“Neil! What the hell? I was about to make my move!”
“You’ve been making your move for the last half hour!”
I think they’ve both made their moves on the other a few times in this strip.
…and Jean finally lost her pants completely. (Just sayin’ because nobody else seems to have)
Huh, I totally missed that! Nice catch.
