Jeanie Bottle 188
Sorry for the delay in getting this comic out.
I had started it over a week ago, but due to an minor accident while downhill skiing last weekend, I was stuck having to nurse myself better all week and didn’t really get much time to sit in front of my computer to finish this comic.
As for the comic, some of you might be scratching your heads as to what SOME of the things the characters are talking about… I’m sure if you go over the last couple stories, you’ll find the answers. (Or read the comments below. I’m sure someone will be posting the reference comics.)
The one thing I’m not sure if I ever mentioned in the comic, Melvin and his gang live in California, on the other side of the United States from where Neil and Jean live (which is Cocoa Beach, Flordia).
The first panel, I saw coming. Jean doesn’t really think these things through… I hope things work out. 🙁 Worst case scenario, he could ask his parents to confirm it to her.
Sailor girl seems to actually be enjoying her new lot in life…maybe happy she can do her life over? And the captain doesn’t seem too terribly distressed. Huh.
Hmm… Now I wonder if alt-Jean’s clothes were somehow poofed from not-Holly’s locker. O.o
Things are getting a bit confusing.
I like the layout of this page (i.e. having more than one strip of panels), and how we’re now getting to see the full extent of Jean’s actions.
well that was alot at once XD
First of all: Awesome.
So the little red-haired girl is the third nerd? What a pitty she has so eager parents. I feel bad for her.
In Greece, everything seems to be getting well. They landed the golden catch. The little sailor girl doesn’t seem to care. Though her parents should use a childrens seat. Maybe Greece doesn’t have such strong regulations. And the Captain will have to go through some adaption first. Where is she anyway?
I guess Aracellis bottle is supposed to be mailed to Cocoa Beach, though the spelling went terribly wrong? Is there a Coke Coal Beach anyway?
I like the mom’s reasoning on the all girls school. Does that mean she tried to get him admitted before? lol
probably dressed him up like a girl to try and fool them 😛
Awesome update! Red is so lucky!
I love how the captain thinks the guys hot even thought she doesn’t want to :3
And I’m glad Araceli is getting shipped back to cali.
I’m not sure where Coke Coal Beach is, Cocoa Beach is in Florida.
I wonder where Araceli will end up. Googlemaps picked Washington State.
Google maps picked nowhere really for me. It defaulted to searching ‘nearby’ for places that sold coca cola.
“Coke Coal Beach” sounds alot like a foreigner’s misinterpretation of “Cocoa Beach.” It seems the Greeks, perhaps unknowingly, are “getting even” by sending the bottle back to Jean–with Araceli along for the ride! Didn’t Jean just do alot of damage defending that bottle? I’m sure they don’t want to piss her off further after she *poofed* and left the bottle behind! 🙂
My Google maps search gave a Coca cola distributor in Coal Creek Canyon, CO.
My Guess is that Valentine lives in the Northwest?
My other guess is that Aracelli will be rescued from the dead package office by a bored postal worker who dreams of being a lumberjack….
for Commotion22 : I think Jean actually instructed the sailors to send the bottle back home and with the switch, its now Araceli going to USA.
I’m afraid that box is destined for the dead letter office…even if they figure out it’s “Cocao Beach”, you can’t mail something to just a city name…there’s no recipient.
True, true… well, she ends up somewhere anyway, as long as its not returned to sender… I am sure author has something more in mnd with her
Ms. Captain’s brain is soaking in estrogen.
She’ll come around eventually.
Maybe the kid used to be a guy with gender issues who wished he
could live his live over as a girl. Ta-Da!
At least money isn’t too much of an issue.
Is 90% of their cargo going to taxes?
Whoo-Hoo! Greece is out of bankruptcy!
(10% of a billion is still a good amount, even with some going to
the crew and former captain as ‘hush money’.)
Don’t be too sure about the taxes. Most of the catch won’t be declared anyway and the taxes won’t be payed. And much of the payed taxes disappeared into black channels anyway. That’s one of the reasons why Greece got into this mess anyway.
if “Greek” and “a Sailor” then “interested in guys”
Hang on! Galloping Stereotypes Batman “not interested in guys”
“Ms. Captain’s brain is soaking in estrogen.
She’ll come around eventually.”
Hormones have nothing to do with it
I suspect its less the estrogen (otherwise you wouldn’t have lesbians) and more the “dutiful wife” component of her wish taking effect.
Well at least the fishing boat guys…Uhmm gals won’t have to worry about money now….(they literally caught goldfish)
What happen to the cheerleader’s outfit? I don’t remember.
After genie was poofed away by her evil body and left naked, she must have broken into the locker and taken the clothes. Here you see her in the mentioned top an jeans:

So, we’ll never get to see any of them again? That’s kinda sad. I liked Melvin and his nerd friends, they brought some great comic relief. I hoped we’d see more of the girl’d redhead nerd.
I suspect at the very least we’ll see more of one of them…
I would bet we see Kazom again and with that will have another “Nerd turned Girl” Arc.
Maybe Jean will turn the other two into girls so that they can go to school with their friend. XD
You should make Red a sailor sun character :3 Like maybe have her be related to Crystal or something.
She looks so happy with that little bunny. Now I want a bunny.
Doesn’t she though?
She might just be reveling in the fact she’s not suddenly finding boys attractive like the captain.
Or taking bets with the bunny on how long it takes the captain to break and marry someone.
Ever since posting that I’ve been unable to stop picturing her and the bunny (actually alive or at least alive for the purposes of a comic) coming up with all sorts of crazy schemes to set up the captain with various guys they think would make them a good dadddy.
It looks like we haven’t seen the last of Araceli. XD I wonder who will end up with her next?
Awwww…. I was hopeing that glasses nerd and Girl nerd would get together.
They still might, afterall they are likely to remain at least somewhat friends and they did seem happy together at the prom plus now there’s a chance she’ll have that schoolgirl uniform a lot of guys find attractive..
“Coke Coal” Beach. Well, at least Araceli isn’t in the ocean anymore. Though she might have to spend time in the dead letter office.
While Jean’s life HAS been royally screwed over, and has every right to be furious, she is also causing a LOT of damage wherever she goes.
I smell a consequences storyline in the future.
I thought nerd-girl was taller. And if she was running around without a hat before, why wear one now?
Matt? Do we know Matt? He certainly isn’t Greek.
She had that baseball cap on earlier. Right after she was TG’d she used it to hide the mass of her red hair.

Why not? “Ματθιας” is a perfectly valid Greek name…
I’m glad the fishing boat got a panel. XD
Gotta love the evility of how many people are having their lives messed up. MUAHAHA!!! >:)
The girlified nerd will probably have some pretty serious identity issues growing up. I feel sorry for her.
I’m not so sure about that her protests rang a little false to me especially with her behaviour at a few points e.g. make up. Plus frankly all the guy’s turned girls seem to be adjusting at various rates to being girls which makes me think it might be not just a physical but also a mental/emotional transfromation so they not only have a girls body but a girls self identity.
Jean’s probably gonna remember she did that right after the package arrives.
Great page; would love to see ‘Red’ again…just to see how she’s adjusting to an all-girl’s school
I wonder where the girl with the bunny is going? She seems to be strapped into a car. Who is driving? Assuming the rest of the crew shared the day’s catch with her she should be well provided for.
I like how the package with Araceli and her bottle is misaddressed. Who knows where it will end up . . . 😉
Someone at the post office probably has to open misaddressed packages in the hope there’s an address inside.
We haven’t seen any female masters yet so, fingers crossed!
Or the parcel is opened by the Homeland Security.
We have our top men looking at stuff like this all the time. This, this is not a *suspicious package*, just a bottle; it does not *leak*, is not *radioactive*, not declared *hazardous* or a *chemical*, let alone *toxic*; it’s not a *virus*, nor does it carry *air/water borne* *bacteria*,; as far as I *recall*, it’s not *avian* or *pork*, it’s not a *bomb*, nothing that would cause a *crash* or *emergency landing*. It would pass our *screening*, no cause for alarm, nothing to make a *wave* about. No need for a paranoid *response*, we are not the *cops*. *Homeland security* is not a *threat*, we just don’t want anyone to get *sick*, we’re all about *prevention*.
However, those Greeks are lucky it isn’t a clear liquid that went on the plane, and that the CIA hasn’t caught them wearing Casio watches.
It could be opened just because they are bored though. Customs people don’t need a reason beyond curiosity.
It is certainly not going to be openend by a government agency of nerds in black suits supposedly doing counter-intelligence monitoring all possible means of communication that does not exist anyway. They’d scan it with X-ray backscatter or terahertz cameras so as not to leave fingerprints or other traces. If they existed, that is. Which they don’t.
Judging from the 4th pannel, gender-bending is not exactly a unheard of.
In universe, of course.
Assuming Red’s mother has a healthy grip on reality or Jean hadn’t messed with peoples perceptions of course 😛
Assuming I were Red’s mother I’d have no problems with the concept my son is now my daughter and thus eligable for that prestigious school I couldn’t get him into before.
On a non-personal note I can easily see a lot of parents loving the idea that they now have the son/daughter they wanted. Either way I hope she stay’s friends with that boy she went to the prom with. even if he is trying to pick up others now.
Did a little look at Google translate. Cocoa Beach translates into Παραλία κακάου, which can be interpreted (by my computer at least) as Beach of Chocolate. 😛
…or in other words, “Cocoa Beach.”
Hmmmm__the skyline behind the fishing boat does not look like a greek fishing village—-or any other city in Greece, for that matter.
The boat looks like a standard trawler to me. I’ll agree that it doesn’t seem a very Greek dock though. ICBW, but does a country as prone to Earthquake as Greece is really have tall buildings that close to the water?
Aww, I was really hoping we’d get to see how the s*** hits the fan when Araceli showed up on the boat.
