Haha…very nice dilemma to keep them occupied
Well at least she isn’t 4.
Jean may be the cause of a global population crisis if she isn’t careful.
That’s hot… but sorta cruel >.<
Indeed it is, in both cases. Unfortunately, once you have a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail.
What’s great about this art style is that people can go from male to female without you having to change their face. The transition is seamless and we can all get on with the story instead of figuring out how the faces work. XD
I thought the idea was to remove evidence?
This is physical proof of an impossible event.
Didn’t a previous strip mention fingerprints were unchanged
in a gender swap?
That person’s only hope of returning to normal is to
GO TO COCOA BEACH AND FIND NATILIE!
They don’t know that this gender change has anything to do with her. Sure, they can speculate, but they’ve already seen McGuyver reverse-kidnap their prisoner. They’re probably doubting their own sanity, now.
Cruel, yes. Ill-considered, yes. Likely to cause serious problems in the real world–dang betcha.
But right now I am grinning at the sheer justice of the thing. That poor girl is about to be subjected to exactly what she was planning to put Natalie through, only worse.
DHS is going to interrogate her in order to find out who she is and who she is working for?
But they know that already!
Natalie seems to not be in any hurry to become Neil again.
Maybe she likes being Natalie more.
I would have no problem with this. 🙂
Hasn’t been a lot of time yet.
I do like the Girl in Black’s LONG ponytail.
So, they still have the file, they just can’t find it.
They have Neil’s fingerprints and know where s/he is from, also that s/he has an engineering background.
And now they have a clue that this non-existent person of interest may not always have been female, as evidenced by the spontaneous Ranma½ one of their collegues has undergone.
No, they certainly will never find Neil now.
Ummm … what makes you think that fingerprints necessarily stay the same, given all else that changes?
Jeanie, isn’t that smart.
Oh, Yeah! That’ll distract them! 😀
And while the audience is focused on the new brunette they miss the sudden appearance of “Black Haired Girl”.
You’re right… you can see a very subtle change in the other guy’s face in the second-to-last panel…
I see no change.
😮 … Jean is swiftly becoming a one-trick pony… and (s)he has been a jerk for a while now.
Looks like she wants everyone to suffer the way she’s suffering
It appears Jean doesn’t know how to do too much genie-ing. Her training courses didn’t cover much. Once she learned how to change someone’s clothing, change their gender, and relocate them… that’s about all she cares to do.
So begins the greatest government cover-up in human history.
Nice. Too bad it didn’t show a better look at the black haired girl too. But still, very nice plot twist.:D
That’s just mean.
You could have just poofed their memory instead, or bothered to do some real work to find out where this started.
That man could have had a family.
Don’t worry…
A lot more women are bisexual than men are, so if he was married, he might find that his wife is still interested…
Also, maybe there’s some sort of SEP-field going around, so that most of the more peripheral aquaintances doesn’t may notice bud doesn’t react, kind of like the stoners at the post office?
(SEP = Someone Else’s Problem)
Except that some people might have moral/religious qualms with that. Not that he necessarily does, but it is a possibility.
Well there are plenty of nastier things she could have done instead of just whipping out the Ka-Girl spell again.
Messing with other people’s minds is against Da Rules. And magically messing with memory probably falls under that.
It all started when a person that doesn’t officially exist boarded a plane in Cocoa Beach. There, how will that help with getting Natalie out of that pickle?
Odd. I’m pretty sure I didn’t use any naughty words…how did my post get flagged for moderation?
I wonder if this will come back to bite them in the butt later….
Almost certainly.
Well, we don’t know what’s happened to the fishermen and their captain.
That gold should have set them up in new lives, and one of them had 20 years or so added to their life expectancy.
Um yeah, somewhat inconvient to their lifestyle… Probably.
Now to really drive the guy crazy have him/her change every time the word “Cocoa” is spoken. Then he may be able to have a relatively normal life except that he’d have to be careful around Starbucks & this case.
lol So that’s the new issue, eh? XD
It’s times like this when I wish Jeanie Bottle were the 3/week comic and SailorSun 1/week.
And suddenly Agent X found he needed a whole new wardrobe…
Gotta hand it to Rodge… he’s lasted a long time without getting poofed…
Hah! That’s a good point. I bet he’s got a pooffin’ coming in his future, though.
T’would be a strange irony if the guy who *really* deserves it most somehow never gets it.
Not that any of us really expect it to happen that way. XD
I’m beginning to think Jeannie might have a serious case of being the tg closet since she seems to go out of her way to change every other guy she meets into a girl. Though really this is just a short term solution because wouldn’t a documented case of a guy randomly going into a physical transformation cause some X-files types to go down and try to investigate all this? The clues do point to the mystery woman of cocoa beach and Richard Dean Anderson having something to do with the laws of phsyics suddenly being broken.
A very interesting crash and burn.
Perhaps the new girl is a Natalie look-alike.
That way the remaining male agent has someone to hand over without people doubting his sanity 🙂
There have been several comments about the black-haired agent changing genders, and I have to wonder about this. First of all, the “poof” seems to happen next to/behind him. Secondly, his hair length/style doesn’t change; I know that isn’t definitive proof, but the brunette agent’s hair does, so it is suggestive.
Check the eyes, though. In panel six her eyes have changed.
Specifically the little eyelashes that tend to indicate female characters.
I was actually joking though till Pete made that comment about the eyes so now I’m not sure as the startled exclamation covers his/her chest.
Just what kind of idiotic goofballs work for Homeland Security, anyway? I mean, really. Natalie as a terrorist suspect?
I could see being suspicious of her being, say, an undocumented alien or something like that, but a terrorist suspect?
Terrorist. Spy. Whatever.
He probably just wanted to spook her into confessing something, anything, by starting with the most outrageous accusation possible.
(Reciprocation, or “give a little, take a little”. Which probably wouldn’t work on Neil, who is a dedicated engineer, and the laws of physics don’t negotiate.)
Or maybe the agent wanted to be able to detain her indefinitely.
If the DHS hired smart people, they would have fixed the “Do Not Fly List” ages ago.
So did they both get turned into women?
I hope so
It would be more justice if both of them changed, though it could be hard to explain to the wife and kids.
The gender swap isn’t bad for a distraction, but instantly drunk with some hallucinates and beer bottles as evidence in the area could work just as well. Would probably get those agents drug tested and fired though.
Yeah, you wouldn’t want to ruin their lives by getting them fired. Ruin it by having them inexplicably change sex. Much better.
Just realized Jeanie left out the part where the new woman is standing on stage at a strip club. (Or is that reserved strictly for Natalie?)
That would have been nice touch 😉
Jean is a fool. She doesn’t realize all her quick fix schemes backfire on her. I wish karma would bite her in the rear instead of others constantly suffering for her actions.
I dunno, she’s gotten pretty screwed over several times. The whole Lord Guano thing, getting ghost-ified due to trying to mess with free will, and getting stuck at the bottom of the ocean were pretty bad for her.
Things worked out for her afterwords, but if they hadn’t, the story would be over.
Now what would be really interesting, is if WIB is only a woman when the two of them are alone together. The rest of the time he is back to his normal self.
Or if they just see each other as female, but themselves as normal.
To investigate the strange incident the two agents might be sent to Coco Beach. Other agents would make obvious jokes about the X Files.
The male agent would be compared to Mulder and the now girl agent jokingly told to dye her hair orange and act like Scully.
Really tick them off too.
Please bring back the blue haired genie Araceli I think that she’s really pretty.I compared her fondness for Neil during the short time she served him to Lima syndrome and Stockholm syndrome in which captors and captives connect with each other.
That story is being mailed in.
