Jeanie seriously needs to read that Genie Manual…
Oh come on, you expect Jeanie to read something. It’s not like she is a professional book reviewer or…
Hey! I remember this episode of I Dream of Jeanie. 🙂
Called it lol. Hopefully her owners manual is in there so she can use her time out productively.
I’ve totally lost track of the details I need to know to understand what’s going on half the time…
you can use the tag system to help with that. Notice how below the description, there is a tag for Araceli, and one for Jean? Well if you click on Araceli, there, you’ll be brought to a list of all the pages she’s been in. That should help catch you up on who she is, and why she’s there.
So what did Araceli do to/with Caley?
We don’t know, yet.
Not sure why Jean is so mad….guess i’ll have to look back….hmmm
Seems she got herself bottled….poor Jean
Last time Jeanie saw Aracelli, she offered her bottle to her.
I’m sure Jeanie sees it as Aracelli “tricking” her into the bottle trade. It was, but it’s not Aracelli’s fault that Jeanie has avoided learning the genie rules.
Wouldn’t a smart person have tried reading the manual after that innocuous gesture turned out to have such great—and magically-enforced—significance?
Or after she lost her body for breaking the rules.
Or to try to figure out how to “level up” and do advanced cosmetic changes.
Or to learn what things are more magic-intensive than others in order to avoid—or attract—a premature death.
Someone with a modicum of curiosity might even wonder, “if genies are real, what magical beings or creatures might there also be?” Or, more pointedly, “if witches are real, what else might one encounter?”
As Kazom said, LSH will use up a bunch of magic dealing with Jeanie. If Jeanie learns how to use magic efficiently, she might manage to do more damage to him than to herself via the chaos she wreaks. If nothing else, I think that could motivate Jeanie to learn something about this life-rearranging development.
I couldn’t stop laughing at how easy Araceli got Jean to his bottle. XD
Hope there’s a copy of the Genie Instruction Manual in the bottle…
Stuck in a bottle with plenty of time to read, sulk or brood.
As I recall, in the old show Jeanie could see whatever was happening outside of the bottle, but could only come out if someone let her out (with plot hole style exceptions) So I imagine Jean can sit in the bottle & watch the train wreck which is about to happen wishing the whole time s/he could change the channel.
Araceli should have provided popcorn.
Oh, & doesn’t Jean review fiction books? Those tend to be more interesting reads for reasons I shouldn’t need to explain.
Yes, Jean really should read the manual–unfortunately, it’s outside the bottle now. And the one who has read it, or at least some of it, is presently in the wrong body, the wrong place, with the wrong girl.
Unless he’s in custody gain. Remember Agent Anderson?
But, Neil currently looks like Jean, and Agent Anderson has not seen him or Belle.
Unless Anderson did see Jean and Neil pop in while he was talking to his new boss…
Nice. Would have liked to see Jeanie actually being sucked into her bottle, but I know there’s limited space in these panels
The funny thing is I was looking at the old entries on the site yesterday and came across the “inside the bottle” contest from years ago. I also found CD’s first attempt at finding a proofreader.
There was an attempt to find one before I volunteered? Huh, I didn’t know that.
The more ya know I guess.
love this comic’s twist on the origional series, long time fan of I Dream of Jeanie, well done !
I’m glad you like it, and I’m sure CD Rudd is too!
Araceli served Neil for a brief time and became quite taken with him I compared this to the Stockholm and Lima syndromes.
Stockholm syndrome? Neil didn’t hold Araceli hostage; in fact, he didn’t really ask her for anything before. And he didn’t *make* Araceli eat hot dogs; she was the one who decided not to tell him she didn’t eat meat.
Neil is the *nice* guy here. Of course, we all know that the dull nice guy always loses out to the interesting bad boy…
How did Araceli know that Jean was going to return at that exact moment. like she is waiting with the open bottle? Genie sense?? Just kinda strange.
Seems like she laid in ambush at Jean’s place of residence — a very likely place to find her — waiting for her to get back. And she had the bottle because she intended to use it to contain Jeanie while she tells her what she’s going to tell her in the next page.
I mentioned both the Lima and Stockholm syndromes before because I’m very interested in these emotional attachment conditions that have been known to take place between captors and captives.
I see several possibilities here. I see a four way pile up here with Araceli trying to catch Neil while Bellie is chasing who she thinks is Jean, but it Neil. We can have Jeanie throwing one of her famous Jealousy tantrums of being jealous of everyone else, because it not to her liking. She jealous of Neil, because he has Bellie and she jealous of Araceli, because she going after her master and even trying to marry him even and leaving Jeanie out of the picture and I see it going for several weeks or even few months even.
