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.
Wouldn’t it be a better idea to find out first WHY Homeland Security arrested Natalie? Maybe they think she has evidence of someone else’s wrongdoing?
(BTW, I don’t think HLS actually has agents like that. It’s the FBI that takes care of criminal apprehension, or taking persons of interest into custody for further interrogation and investigation. About a year ago, I learned that the FBI also has uniformed officers–the FBI Police. Really. They mostly guard FBI offices. I ran into one when I had to visit another organization in a Federal bldg. that also had FBI offices.)
Yup, pretty much anybody with no legal paper trail is presumed to be operating under a false identity, and if your identity is fake then you are either an illegal immigrant, or are trying to conceal something, according to government ways of thinking.
I wonder what Richard Dean Anderson will make of this? He’s said that half of the McGyver tricks he used were things he personally would have never thought of.
But then get a genie who is also a victim of American education & not quite the sharpest cookie in the deck & one can expect plans like this.
I repeat my assertion that Jean is a Idiot.
Though i like MacGyver as a show most of his plans were overly complicated and most likely not as effective as the show let on.
Much like the A-Teams plans, were every show they had to build/jury rig some thing to win the day. It must have been a 1980’s thing.
She should have Poofed Up the character from the show rather than the actor.
Pro: He’d also be younger.
Con: His last episode was 20 years ago. He’d be a time traveler!
Poor Rog, enjoying life, just skating by. Now he’s drawn into a web of intrigue and has to actually think on his feet. Great comic btw! I came across episode 74 then had to read them all. Now I’m hooked! You really bring forth the fun spirit of the TV series. 🙂
It just occurred to me, unless Neil spilled the beans about their identities, how would homeland security be able to figure any of that out of Neil got poofed out? Jean could just turn him back into a guy and if she wanted to turn him into a girl again she could just change the hair and maybe tweak the face a bit. Because they would be looking for Natalie not Neil. But then again thinking that far might be a bit much for her. But still my point stands unless Neil did spill the beans I don’t see how poofing him out could be a problem, unless cocoa beach was the name of their apartment complex. That might hit a little close to home for them if that is the case, I wasn’t really paying attention to if that was the apartment complex or their home town.
Well, past history tells us that Neil/Natalie doesn’t play her cards close to the vest. She told Rodge as soon as he asked practically. She’s probably trying to explain it to HS right now, not that they would believe her. But, I agree, turning her back into Neil and giving him appropriate badges, etc. would be the perfect way to hide Natalie.
Trying to convince HLS of the truth is a good way to convince them you’re a harmless idiot with some delusions that could benefit from medication. Which might help. Might not, but it’s probably better than lying and getting caught.
You know that’s a good point, how did Natalie get on the plane in the first place having no real identity? Did Jean poof that stuff up and if so shouldn’t that fool homeland security too?
I’m an annoying idiot!
mmmm en qué podrá ayudarlo?
Neil and Rodge should get along great being such idiots.

It’s pretty obvious why… she has no identity and is in america and knows all about high tech stuff and could build a bomb kinda easily.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement is also part of the DoHS. They are a police and have uniformed agents.
Oh, PLEASE tell me this isn’t just a one-strip gag!

I wonder if he will like being Ricki Deanne Anderson.
Let’s find out!
I will support that.
Hell yes! fricking MacGyver. I love this comic 🙂
Assuming it’s the actor, you could just as easily say it’s Jack O’Niell (He played Jack for longer than he played MacGyver)
And in between, he played Nicodemus Legend for…well, only one season since UPN decided to cancel their *entire* primetime lineup.
That look in the last panel Rodge realizing he’s the brains of this operation.
Oh god, they’re both doomed.
Only problem with that is Roge asked is that mcgyver not is that Richard dean anderson so I dont think he’s realized that yet.
At least she didn’t “poof” in Rambo or “Commando” or “Conan” or John McClane or Jack Ryan (RIP Mr. Clancy) or …

richard dean anderson…..”eye twitch” and the comic goes off on another tangent….oh well still funny as hell…
*Rubs temple* Oh how will this play out?
I would also like to point out that “McGuyver” was ALSO on Stargate SG1, and therefore this could go in many different directions. 😉
rofl Jeanie brought out McGuyver!? XD
His uniform says Colonel.
Is this becoming more like a Kamikaze mission or what, Oyo vay.

Jeannie should poof Mr T over here next!
Jean’s watched too much TV.

Glad to see new readers coming on board! Stick around, I think you’ll like it here. 🙂
If not, then poof time!
Hey what about poofing some of us lng time readers instead.

If he didn’t spill the beans they he would just be detained in gitmo for being a spy.

Poof Neil out, turn him into a guy, poof him home, poof away the girl clothes, and then deny any knowledge of this girl.
Is this supposed to be done by the same Jean that didn’t realize she could poof herself to Las Vegas?
I wonder if Neil/Natalie has the fingerprints?
That’s what I was mentioning before. Does Neil have the same fingerprints as Natalie? Or Visa Versa.
Similar maybe but unless they have the same hands the shape would be different. I really can’t see Nat having man hands every thing else is so girly.
Fingerprints are singular. No two people have the same fingerprints, not even twins. The size doesn’t matter.
