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.
I doubt Jeanie heard the girlfriend comment, if anything, I think she is more concern with how friendly Neil is being with that new girl! After all, Jeanie is not used to compete for Neil’s attention, even with her “rivals” like Araceli who she sees just as an annoyance, and Rodge, who is only collateral damage to keep Neil in line. But so far, at least as far as Jeanie sees it, she doesn’t have any real competence for Neil’s attention!
As for her friendly attitude, Bottle Genies by nature have a motherly nature and love to serve in some basic instinct, according to both the info page and page 8 (man that takes me back!), and that’s something not even Jeanie can combat, as seen in this page: https://jeaniebottle.com/?comic=jeanie-bottle-347
I wonder if Jeanie doesn’t want any competition for her attention. Because if Neil gets a girl maybe he will move out on Jeanie and she needs him to act as her master or bat poop will take her away. Maybe i am reading too much into this.
I am going to go with Neil being just far enough away that Jeanie does now hear what Neil is saying to the other women that Neil talking to. I think that Jeanie just knotest Neil being friendly with another women and now Jeanie feel a little threatened by it and jumping to the wrong conclusion as to what going on here. Jeanie has a habit of doing that. Over the course of several months, Jeanie has gone past the point of being just a friend to being something more than just good friend with Neil, to having emotional needs and even an identity of having Neil around. After all, whither she admit it or not, Neil is Jeanie master on some level. So Jeanie going to feel insecure with some other women being too friendly with Neil.
Her expression is simply her wondering what Neil is up to with a change of clothing she hasn’t been told about. I think is obvious that Neil is going to be Santa and in order to get in on the fun, Jean will be his elf. She’ll make a cute elf. 🙂 I could be wrong, but I can already see her in the elf costume.
What’s with the look on her face? Is it about the girlfriend comment, or something else?
Going with girlfriend.
Merry Christmas!
EDIT: Weird that she’s being so nice. It feels wrong somehow.

You can go even farther back with this one.
Maybe the look on Jean’s face has something to do with Neil talking with another woman?
Sure Jeanie can be nice. She just doesn’t have much practice at it. But she’s having fun now, serving grateful people.
And the odd look is at Neil’s reference to ‘changing into a suit’. She’s wondering what that’s about.
Maybe wondering why a nice Jewish boy would put on a Santa Clause suit?
@Tom:
Well, she could always complete the picture – and appear as Krampus.

YEAY TURKEY SOUP!!!!

And I have a feeling that the “elf” is going to make sure that each little girl or boy gets exactly what they want, coming out of Santa’s bag – POOF!
Oh, *that* kind of poof! Sorry, British comedy had me puzzled at yesterday’s comment!
I think Santa Clause is coming tonight.
Well, of course, she has a knack for this!
Remember, she discovered that she likes waitressing, back in I Dream of a General ??
And this is even better, because the customers are grateful, and many of them are kids.
Hey, good point! I’d forgotten about that little tidbit.
By the way, sorry the first two times you tried to post that comment got moderated. I have no idea why that happened.
Oh, no problem, Robert. I figured it was just a glitch. Thank you!
And here’s wishing you and yours a VERY merry Christmas!
Are we going to have elf Jean?
If we do, Guano could make it permanent.
Everybody’s heard that the lord elfs those that elf themselves.
*Runs for the door*
So long as she’s not doing the loaves-and-fishes routine, her cover is safe.
I don’t think Jeannie has any cooking skill. So loaves and fishes would probably wind up being sardine sandwiches.
