Jeanie Bottle 217
Robert is away, on a trip. So your all stuck with me publishing again till he gets back.
EDIT: Hey all, Robert here. I’m back, and I fixed Natalie’s dress. I think it got so drunk that it forgot what color it was.

okay what do we know aout Rodge so far?
He is a bit perverted, he understands his job but has a low attention span for it unless it involves a cute girl. He seems to jump to conclusions yet they don’t seem so far a leap when you consider the circumstances. despite bein friendly he is not above blackmail when he thinks its a simple way to meet a cute girl and he has been seeing Natalie for some time in what he probably assumed was meant to be a relationship.
now consider this, He invited a girl that he had assumed liked him to a vacation. She accepted and he thought she came to be with him. He may or may not have set up an awkward situation regarding a single bed hotel room, and he saw some very interesting clothing in her suitcase that gave him ideas. He of course jumped to a conclusion that she packed the bag herself and intended to have sex. they are adults after all and they have been seeing each-other for some time.
he still is cautious though but then he went to the party and left her alone. the assumption, she would mingle and have fun. niels assumption he would mingle and have fun. Natalie however did not plan on being targeted by several nerds hitting on her because Natalie being male by nature (much like Rodge) did not foresee that development. Rodge might have been wrong to leave her alone, but should rodge know more then niel about the situation at hand?
but then rodge got drunk, probably didnt mean to, but your at a party you like to drink, and you go a little overboard, then you judgement is clouded and you go a lot overboard. Then whats on his mind? well whats on many mens minds when they have not done it in a while and they have an attractive date and a hotel room at hand. sex. in his drunken state his judgement is still clouded and he doesent see wanting sex from his date as wrong. I mean why would she come if not to have sex with him.
He is not perfect he is the perv of the story and he makes plenty of mistakes but thinking of him as horrible person means you only accept mary-sues as acceptable charachters in a comic. not to mention this is a gender swap comic, it feeds off awkward situations, if nobody was a bit simple minded and perverted there would be no awkwardness for the jokes, and no drama for the charachters.
Also Nat is extremely attractive, Roger might be a little intimidated by this woman who, uncharacteristically in his experience, seems to be interested in him. He just needed a little fortification to help him through what may his first time. ( all be it way too much)
It is also obvious that she is much smarter than he. She understands engineering better than he and could probably do his job in a heart beat. If your not secure in your own self this could be freighting.
Hence my stance further up the comments that using a “mean wish” to punish him is an overreaction.
which is the conversation that led me to post this XD
So drunk you go color blind? thats pretty sad there cd…
Teach Rodge a lesson, Transform him into a “HOT Babe” so he gets to see what its like to be hit on. (…….Just hope he doesn’t like it.)
Hmm… I suspect Natalie has just inadvertently made herself permanent, going by the banner…
I’ve seen a few folks refer to Natalie in the banner, but all I see is Jeanie. What’s up with that?
I know that if CD does a special banner, like Jeanie as a witch for Halloween, it changes back when he switches the banner back. In other words, the banner on the current comic is on *all* the comic in the archive and they all change at the same time.
Click on home at the top to see if that changes the banner. I see it to.
Perhaps your browser is caching the banner wrong? Try clearing your cache. I’ve been seeing the Natalie banner for a while.
Well, today I see Natalie as a genie in the banner.
Not really a change I’d like to see. I like Neil as a foil for Jeanie and the other supernaturals.
Will Natalie be come the green Jeanie?
Doesn’t anyone remember Neil/Natalie as the stripper in the genie costume earlier? When Lord Guano mistook him/her for the disobedient Jeanie and had Neil/Natalie chained to the bottle? And Neil had to have his review as Natalie disguised in heavy winter clothing (where did that come from, as they live in Florida?) so he/she nearly passed out? And Roger saw Neil as Natalie when he/she took off the parka and flannel scarf and so on? So Neil has already been seen in a genie costume, right?
The best thing about this strip is that Natalie doesn’t so much complain about Roger coming on to her–she just objects to his technique.
I predicted that Nat would be overwhelmed by being a center of attention at the reception, but all the other engineers were just as clumsy as Roger.
Nobody has tried to show Natalie a good time, to have any fun at all. Nobody’s tried to offered to take her to a show, or just walk around seeing the Vegas sights.
Nobody’s given her any reason at all to enjoy being a girl in their company, and that’s a damn shame, because given the care she lavished on her appearance, she was open to the experience. (If not to actual sex–that’s asking a bit much for a new girl.)
I for one would like to see Natalie hang around for a while; experience a period (or two), meet Rodge’s family, etc
I kinda doubt that periods will be a part of the comic considering it has not shown Jeanie having a period, though she can be moody from time to time I think thats based on the situation at hand as opposed to female issues
This must be the longest discussion on any one of your comics to date CD!!
