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.
While all the nerds will geek out over their newest gadgets and favourite operating systems, Neil/Natalie will be right at home among them, safely beyond the reach of desperate drunks.
While Jean will have to deal with whatever the post office dudes have in store for her.
This is what Nellie is going to feel like after running into 3000 nerds that are clueless of how to pick up girls, and are willing to try anything, and I mean anything. (See Big Bang Theory).
George, George
George of the Jungle,
Strong as he can be.
(Ahhhhhhhh)
Watch out for that tree.
George, George,
George of the Jungle,
Lives a life that’s free.
(Ahhhhhhhh)
Watch out for that tree.
When he gets in a scrape,
he makes his escape
with the help of his friend,
an ape named Ape.
Then away he’ll schlep
on his elephant Shep
While Fella and Ursula
Stay in step.
Well….George, George
George of the Jungle,
Friend to you and me.
You know Jeanie, just a few days ago YOU were going to be the girl around 3000 sweaty and smelly nerds and geeks. You sure you really wanted to go to Vegas?
Ah well, could be worse. Natalie could have ended up going to a con.
Of course, Jean(ie) has cosmic genie powers. No need to worry about any number of sweaty geeks. Natalie has no powers–and not a whole lot of experience being a girl.
Exactly _what_ Jean(ie) is punishing Neil for is not altogether clear, though. It is not evident what Neil _did_, other than not win the trip. Unless it’s just resentment that Jean got turned into Jeanie, gets harassed by Lord Guano, etc., while Neil gets to go on with his life (mostly, except when Jeanie screws it up). I guess to a narcissist like Jean(ie), that deserves to be punished, right?
I think it would be amusing that when Neil gets to the hotel that and opens his suitcase that he find that jean has replaced all his trousers and baggy shirts (what he was hoping to wear to be able to stay out of sight) with extremely sexy girly clothing making him the centre of attention around all the nerds
I don’t really think this is a case of Jean being a jerk. I do think, however, that this is a great sign that her mind is going female…this is a very female response! ‘I dont need to do anything, you’re already screwed!’ LOL
Sexy “girl” with a bunch of sweaty nerds and geeks. Natalie has the brains and body to get a lot of fan boys. I wonder if she realizes just what kind of effect she may have on these guys.
Forget about the 3000 sweaty nerds and geeks. Rog didn’t invite Natalie along so he’d have company on the plane. Is the company only paying for one hotel room? What sort of clothes are in Natalie’s suitcase, and, before you answer, remember that Jeannie could have made all sorts of “adjustments” to whatever Natalie packed.
At some point Neil, or Natalie, has to realize that (s)he’s the master in this relationship. Sending her into the lion’s den, I hope, will come back to bite Jeanie on the ass.
I hope to see Lord Guano show up and ask “Where’s your master?… You did what?”
Yeah, it was really a rather simple secret evil plan all along.
And it will backfire spectacularly, I’m sure.

“Sweety” nerds?
BAH! I fixed several errors in this comic, but missed the one I stared at at least 5 times, thinking it was wrong, but not realizing why.
Intern! Intern!
Did he get locked in the basement again? 🙂
Like many genies, Jeannie turns evil.
Let’s hope Natalie doesn’t return from Vegas with a ring on her hand.
Why is Neil even friends with Jean he’s/she’s such a dick. CD can we get the back story on these 2 some day please.
I bet he used to have his moment… but you are right Jean is a dick now.
sweaty*
What Jean forgets is that 99% of these nerds won’t recognize what Natalie is. They may even think she is some form of alien life.
I didn’t think Jeanie was supposed to be separated from her master.
You know Jeanie, just a few days ago YOU were going to be the girl around 3000 sweaty and smelly nerds and geeks. You sure you really wanted to go to Vegas?
Ah well, could be worse. Natalie could have ended up going to a con.

Heh… nerds are nice people. Maybe “sweety” was intentional!
Still not really clear on why Jean thinks Neil needs punishing. As far as I can Jean was and still is just a jerk.
I think it would be amusing that when Neil gets to the hotel that and opens his suitcase that he find that jean has replaced all his trousers and baggy shirts (what he was hoping to wear to be able to stay out of sight) with extremely sexy girly clothing making him the centre of attention around all the nerds
I totally want this to happen. But I’m afraid that if I attempt to exert any direct influence, Neko will just girlify me instead…
A worth sacrifice do it . . . and then post a picture.
Throw some catnip in Neko’s direction 1st then draw it and hope she doesn’t notice
but like Senko said it would be a worthy sacrifice
we shall execpt your sacriffice for the good of all
I don’t really think this is a case of Jean being a jerk. I do think, however, that this is a great sign that her mind is going female…this is a very female response! ‘I dont need to do anything, you’re already screwed!’ LOL
Some evil plans just happen on their own.
I’m so glad you finally stopped making Jeanie greenish… she always looked sick and i never was able to see her as hot.
Sexy “girl” with a bunch of sweaty nerds and geeks. Natalie has the brains and body to get a lot of fan boys. I wonder if she realizes just what kind of effect she may have on these guys.
Neil needs to.be punished for spending time wig Roger and not her.
I agree she’s becoming more girly as time goes on.
I do like that everyone seems focused on Jean’s evil “plan” and not on how adorable Natalie looks in the 2nd panel.
I agree! I love panel 2!
Oh and the fact that if Jeannie has been a girl for weeks now she’s probably going to be very grumpy very soon assuming Genies have a silar biology.
…hasn’t she been? I’m sure I remember that…
Well more so than she has been anyway.
Oughta be a great time…they could try the dice tables and thrown sevens and elevens and fourteens…
I still don’t get how Jeanie can “punish” Neil, one of these days he’s going to have to pay Jeanie back with interest… 😛
Obviously certain aspects of male/female relationships are universal.
Forget about the 3000 sweaty nerds and geeks. Rog didn’t invite Natalie along so he’d have company on the plane. Is the company only paying for one hotel room? What sort of clothes are in Natalie’s suitcase, and, before you answer, remember that Jeannie could have made all sorts of “adjustments” to whatever Natalie packed.
one thing left forgotten: ‘remember to call home if things get too rough!’
..then again, was likely intentional 😀
At some point Neil, or Natalie, has to realize that (s)he’s the master in this relationship. Sending her into the lion’s den, I hope, will come back to bite Jeanie on the ass.
I hope to see Lord Guano show up and ask “Where’s your master?… You did what?”
But that is what her master asked her to do.
What about waking up from the mother of all hangovers and discovering you have got MARRIED?–Vegas is known for such events.—Nat WILL have a problem.
