Chapter: Story 08: I Dream of a General
Characters: Kendra
I bet her popularity is going to swell considerably after this!
NOTE TO READERS: This week you’re getting a 3-for-1 special!! Pages 315, 316, and 317 come out Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. These three special pages will chronicle the consequences of Jeanie’s magic going wild during her sneezing fit. This is the last 3-for-1 special. The main story will continue next week on Tuesday, June 30th.
Nice!!!
I’m guessing her hair is growing out into its natural color of black and she will lose the red color entirely.
Yup!
Aww. ^^ It looks so nice right now. Shame Jean’s curse can’t make that hair colour permanent instead of busting the spy’s bra…
Black roots that long imply that months have passed. Perhaps other things have grown too?
I wonder when we’ll be seeing Belle again…
Yep. Definitely liking the results of Jeanie’s sneezing.
So is the Korean spy “busting out?”
Kendra is busting out all over.
And this size increase is *in addition* to the one that exposed her as a spy.
Does the speech bubble in the third panel mean something, or is it just random Oriental characters?
According to the google translate app; something along the lines of “I will slit your throat in your sleep.”
An empty threat unless she can pick the locks on the cell doors — or the heckler is prone to napping when out in the yard.
It’s Kendra speaking in her native Korean. And Haweye’s got the translation spot on.
By the way, “Oriental” is generally considered an offensive term and should be avoided.
It means East Asian. Is European, American, African, Occidental, or any other word describing a place on earth offensive?
“Oriental” is like “colored”. It’s a word that is currently considered offensive by polite society. I honestly don’t know why, but it is.
the word is antiquated and is associated to a less enlightened world.
And East Asian is offensive as it implies people of that race don’t belong in other parts of the world.
Eventually every possible adjective to describe a person is going to be labeled offensive. It’s just a way for people to launch hate speech lawsuits.
The characters are hangul, not ideographs. A quick rundown of how to distinguish East Asian writing:
Chinese is all ideographs. Korean, Japanese, and occasionally Vietnamese is written with ideographs, but all three have other writing systems that actually tells you how to pronounce the words.
Japanese most often mixes ideographs with hiragana and katagana. These two syllabaries are both made up of characters with no more than three strokes. Hiragana strokes are often curved; katakana look blocky and sometimes can be mistaken for ideographs.
Hangul uses an alphabet to construct a syllabary, so once you know the 24 “letters” you can figure out the characters.
Vietnamese uses the Latin alphabet with a lot of diacritical marks to indicate the tones, which are more or less like Cantonese or other Southern Chinese dialects.
Also, Korean is the one with the little circles in the writing. The others don’t have those.
Guau
need to see Red
This has been a really cool twist. I hope she effects red and aracely
I see the glow in panel 3….but no poof?
(Because it’s not strictly a transformation but a continuation of a previous spell?
There’s a difference between turning an apple into an orange and
changing an apple into a larger apple?)
Looks like the “poof” would probably be ‘written’ off-screen.
“Because it’s not strictly a transformation but a continuation of a previous spell?”
Given the effects of the other poofs it would have been nice to see a more extensive transformation, then she could get released for “not” being the korean spy and go after Neil.
The poof seems to be centered on the affected area slightly below screen.
Not sure that’s a sort of popularity you want in prison.
I am both amused and unnerved by the fact that she tore her hardcover book in two, either by having her breasts grow between her hands, or by her reaction when she noticed. Probably the latter, which kinda makes her freaky strong to just casually rip up a book like that…
Be nice if like the agent Anderson perfect timing poof. The book she was holding contained escape materials so the poof foiled her nefarious plans.
I would demand a fanart of these new girls
Korean spy. North Korea really are one of the only bad guys America have left. I remember when that new adoption of Red Dawn came out. It was supposed to be about China launching an invasion, something that might be plausible if a few geopolitical circumstances were different, but for political reasons it was changed to North Korea right before the release, as they didn’t want to anger China, and that is just beyond ridicules.
You think *that’s* redicules, a bootleg of one of Stallone’s movies
recaptioned the dialog so the enemy was WWII Japan instead
of Vietnam. (Pay no attention to the helicopters)
At least both of these were legitimate treat, North Korea is a barking flea. America may be doomed, but it wont be an external force that ends the union.
Anyone remember the remake of Red Dawn? Originally the Chinese invaded America, but the studio was so afraid of losing business in China, they took the completed movie and, using CGI and some redubbing, changed the villains into North Koreans. Gee, it’s a good thing the North Koreans don’t have nuclear weapons… oh, wait…
Not that ridiculous, we do owe the Chinese money and they do fund many Hollywood films. Best not to insult them needlessly.
I think I sense NSFW brewing right about now
Is that a Cathy ‘ack’?
So when are we going to see something happen to “General O’Neil”, or to the Greek ship’s original captain?
Today’s comic is the last of the 3-for-1 special, so I’m afraid not. The main story will be continuing next week.
Now that you shown we can get one a day we expect one day. 🙂
eager to see a fanart by th3go
Happy Birthday CD!
What about the high school kid Jeanie turned into a girl?
S/he’s a major character in the “Melvin” strip that there’s a link to to the left
of the Jeanie Bottle main page.
She still basically still a nerd, but in female form and traveling along with Melvin and BJ, more or less.
I meant why isn’t Jeanie’s sneezing effecting her too?
I believe the reason given was that she’s now in a different comic and thus somewhat protected against events in this one (the recent strip had a brief shot of her turning into a guy and back again).
Of that comic I mean so she is affected by Jeanie’s sneezing its just shown there not here.
I’ll bet that Kendra would be in the Phantom Zone if she wasn’t in jail.
What’s Kendra in for?
I’m behind bars but I’m not letting that keep me from improving my mind.
I’ll bet that’s what she’s saying in her native Korean.
