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.
As a substitute teacher, that intro line made me hit my head on a wall. :p I get calls all the time “Report to work at 7:00 AM.” “But it’s 8:15?” “You have till 9:15 to get there, your timecard will say you started at 7:00, and the freaking principal will cover for you till you get in if we have to.”
Oh, and they have a phone tree that they robo-call to do this. I’m somewhere around Substitute Teacher #20,000 and my city is ~300,000 people. I’m not sure how that works either. Only time i’ve seen a school have a hard time covering a class was because the teacher had to go to the hospital for something suddenly in the middle of the day, and they called me in, I got there and one of the other teachers who was on their planning period (the period they get to grade papers and such) was covering the class until I got there.
Mind, this is a magical wish-fulfilling entity we’re talking about, so i’m sure things can be made to work, just gah.
Really the entire job of a substitute is so that someone who has passed security checks and a bit of training will be in the room with students, because that’s the part that a school can’t legally fail to do and stay open; if they can get anything accomplished is just a bonus.
I’m sorry, but as much as I enjoy IDoaJB I’m going to have to complain about something. Your background is simply too much. If you would lighten itg some, make it so it’s not as attention grabbing, say, add a white overlay or even dark and wash it out some it would look a lot better. it’s just too distracting omho
That, and the very visible lines at the top and bottom, where the background repeats. It may wrap well left-right, but the top edge doesn’t mesh up with the bottom edge and thus stands out somewhat dramatically. (A bit less so where you have the white overlay, but it is still noticeable if you’re looking for it.)
Ooh, Jeanie.
Make this a class to remember. Give them something to write about.
Love the costume change.
Oh
My
Nothing good can come of this…
Which is why …
… the next strip will likely fade back to Neil/BlueGenie. Maintaining suspense…

There is writing on the chalkboard, and Miss.. Ah.. Jeanie is creative. What could go wrong.
Want a list?
Kinda, but I can’t afford to rent 23 semi trucks to haul it in here, and I have nowhere to put it… 😉

Do you mean the website background, the background in the comics or this specific comic? Too many backgrounds to know for sure.
Probably the background image for the whole website https://jeaniebottle.com/wp-content/themes/comicpress-sandy/images/background.jpg It is perhaps a little too “busy” and the high contrast between the dark blues and the light whites in it distracts the eye.

Hark! Does anyone besides me hear the sound of a large metal spike being pulled out of a tar-soaked railroad tie?
With a body like that, the boys will in awe of her and the girls insanely jealous. I can tell you, it works!
Ohhh, dear. At least she was an English major.
